Against Smoothness

This collection of essays by Birgitta Welzel presents a pioneering competency model for creative writing with Large Language Models, framing the author as a "strategic curator" who overcomes the statistical "smoothness" of AI-generated text. Through fictional workshop conversations with figures such as Erich Auerbach, Umberto Eco, and Italo Calvino, the work establishes a theoretical bridge between technological application and the high aesthetic standards of the literary tradition. It defines the essential curatorial skills required to transform machine-generated raw material into literature characterized by aesthetic necessity and intellectual resistance.
