    “

    Can an entity be self-aware and still be unaware of its self-awareness??? Can it have emotions while not being aware of how emotional it is? Can it have discovered God and even pray, if its creator is man?

    Conlon has certainly created an aritificial entity that evokes all of these questions while simultaneously ignoring them because it’s got a much more urgent problem: a deadline for a creative project! It’s Monkeys Typing Hamlet without monkeys, typewriters or Hamlet, wonderfully skewering our expections of technology and humans, science and creativity.

    I declare this experiment a success!...

    I love that this short sci-fi comedy shows how profoundly the effort to be creative impacts the creator. Geoffrey's character arc, while short, has several stages -- including a final wordless set of actions -- that ultimately made me smile.

    "The Volitive Effect of Oral Literary Inundation on the LSTM Recurrent Neural Network" is neither anti-A.I. nor anti-technology, but instead pro-artistry and pro-creativity. I'm glad I read it and I'd love to see a production.

    A charming 10 minute ride through classic literature in “sound-bytes"— through which a machine teaches us about the creative process, especially how addictive it can be. Simple but effective staging. Bravo!

    Never mind if you don't understand the title. Or if you don't know all the literary references. You will know enough of them to see how Geoffrey, the artificial intelligence who is more intelligent than all the humans in Richard Conlon's little gem, manages nonetheless to mangle most of the major works of literature. "To pee. Or not to pee. That is the excretion." And so forth. The play humorously questions what is human, what is machine, what is creativity, what is programming. A clever and fast-paced piece.

    In this sardonic critique of so-called progress, Conlon twists our expectations by making his AI writer seemingly more human than its creators. By doing so, he not only makes us laugh, but forces us to reflect on how far the quest for creation - scientific and artistic - can actually take us, without forgetting the critical role of humor. Highly intriguing and thought-provoking

    An interesting take on the process of writing and the process of creation. By making the writer an A.I, Conlon brings up a lot of questions about what good writing has been, the expectation of what is and what it could become. The play ends with a reminder that creativity could be an explosive force and that it could change how anyone is programmed.
