Announcing: The AI Torah Commentary, Volume 1: Genesis!

Announcing: The AI Torah Commentary, Volume 1: Genesis!

Through the technology of OpenAI ChatGPT, diverse voices from throughout history and culture are brought back to life, each generated to reflect on a Torah portion through the unique prism of their life's recorded work. The only consciously written component of the book is my introductory essay, reflecting on the project itself. I'm fascinated, confused, and excited to explore what this means in the world of Torah and Jewish meaning-making. Volumes 2-5 are already in production as part of my new #ImpossibleTorah project.

The Genesis volume of Impossible Torah features the artificially generated voices of:
