Van wanneer is dit interview met Raymond Noë @onzetaal? Het lijkt erop dat wat toen nog toekomstmuziek leek, nu werkelijkheid is geworden. Mijn studenten kunnen human-created en AI-created poëzie niet meer onderscheiden.

Replying to @ChristophHeilig
Text-Fabric through @etcbc_vu is one of the most thorough. It has a steep learning curve though. Although you can export queries as csv files in a Jupyter Notebook.
