The Magnificent Gatsby is an uncanny retelling of The Great Gatsby, paraphrased with AI software. AI paraphrasing tools are used by content farms spinning out zombie clickbait webpages, and students who want to hide their plagiarism. Transformed sentence by sentence, The Magnificent Gatsby tells the story of Jay Gatsby, the lavish façade of his life, and his love for Daisy Buchanan. Formed through this technology that in turn reflects ourselves and our society, this text askew reveals our willingness to cheat to get what we want, the elaborate facades that we put up for others, and ultimately the technical impossibility of the American Dream. The work is prefaced by a conversation with ChatGPT about Gatsby, and the relationship between deception and paraphrasing. The cover art is reinterpreted through the horrific vision of the Dall-E 2 image generator.
