This article examines the origins of computer-generated poetry, both as a thought experiment and as an aesthetic practice, with a focus on the works of the Stuttgart-based poet, theorist, philosopher, publisher, and professor Max Bense. My readings emphasize the ways in which computer-generated poems challenge fundamental assumptions about the relationship between language, technology, and subjectivity. In these works, the human subject emerges through a stochastic process of automated text generation, representing a form of cyborg subjectivity; Bense constructs the text itself as an interface of human and machine, an intersection of multiple modes of textual production.

“新诗人在思考吗？这是可能的”：计算机诗歌与赛博主体性

本文探讨了计算机生成诗歌的起源，既是一种思想实验，也是一种美学实践，重点是这位斯图加特诗人、理论家、哲学家、出版商和 Max Bense 教授的作品。我的阅读强调了计算机生成的诗歌挑战关于语言、技术和主观性之间关系的基本假设的方式。在这些作品中，人类主体通过自动文本生成的随机过程出现，代表了一种赛博主体性形式；Bense 将文本本身构建为人机界面，是多种文本生产模式的交集。
