“We learn that the professor’s pupils work six hours per day transcribing the contents of the engine into a growing compendium of information that is believed to one day contain all the knowledge in the world. The engine’s mechanical operations allow even the most ignorant of persons an opportunity to effortlessly write books in any discipline (Press, 2016). Swift’s fantasy academy AI creates new content through sophisticated algorithms, just like your favorite generative AI tool, and this was all proposed back in 1726!”
