What to expect
Vauhini Vara, an award-winning tech journalist and editor, has long been interrogating how technology has changed how she uses language, from discovering online chat rooms as a preteen to using social media as the Wall Street Journal's first Facebook reporter to testing early versions of ChatGPT, all while adding to the trove of human-created material that A.I. exploits. Searches illuminates Big Tech's incursion into our lives, while proposing that by harnessing the collective imagination that taught us to communicate in the first place, we might invent a nobler, freer relationship with our machines and, ultimately, with one another.
