Artprice by Artmarket: The Author's Responsibility in the Age of AI

PRCp
  • Thierry Ehrmann, founder of Artprice, released the French version of "Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI" on October 15, 2026, following its initial English release in September 2026.
  • The text, also known as "Liber Mundi" or "Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI," is available as a free Raw Typescript under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.
  • The work resulted from a forty-day experiment in July 2026 involving over 450 hours of voice dialogue between Ehrmann and AI, producing approximately 1,800 pages.
  • Ehrmann explicitly states the creation method as "Human Thought & Dialogue: thierry | Writing: 100% AI," emphasizing that he retains full responsibility for the meaning.
  • The release aims to defend the role of AI in literary creation while advocating for transparency over the regulatory panic triggered by recent events like the Thélyson Orélien Prix Goncourt controversy.
  • Preliminary figures report 27.9 million downloads of the Raw Typescript across 123 countries and 12 languages as of mid-October 2026.
  • Three additional translations are currently in progress: Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Hindi.
  • The experiment includes a "meta-reading" where nine AI systems, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Mistral, Qwen, Copilot, and a Meta model, acted as literary critics.
  • Ehrmann promotes the concept of "cosa mentale," asserting that the human mind's conceptual direction remains paramount despite AI handling the text generation.
  • The publication contrasts with global regulatory trends, such as the Caine Prize investigation into AI use and certification initiatives by the U.S. Authors Guild, by prioritizing open access over restrictive controls.
  • The work is presented as the third dimension of a trinity including La Demeure du Chaos (physical art) and Artprice (data), now integrating language through AI.
  • Ehrmann argues that AI serves as a "printing press of thought," allowing the author to focus on the concept while the machine executes the syntax.
  • The text is available for reading and download on the official website in both French and English versions.
