This article introduces the phenomenon of literature generated by artificial neural networks, with specific examples of texts created in the Czech and Slovak cultural environment. It follows the historical background connected with generative and combinatory poetics and later describes the principles of data processing used by neural networks work; it also presents the parameters of their machine learning. The focus lies on the reception of these artificial texts in the media and in literary studies, leading to the proposition of two reading types specialized for these works: “reading of artificiality” and “literary meta-reading”, while rehabilitating Mathauser’s term of “meta-hability”. The study concludes by suggesting “literary meta-reading of artificiality” as a term that would combine the aforementioned approaches into a new reception of neural network literature.

Since the end of the 1950s, computer-generated literary texts have been a marginal but ever-present part of many national literatures including the Czech one. This study primarily charts the history of this phenomenon on the Czech cultural scene. Its material scope extends from experiments in the 1960s (by Jiří Levý and Karel Pala) and the metaliterary reflections of Jiří Drašnar with computer-distorted texts to contemporary conceptual procedures (e. g. glitch aesthetics in Impromptu by Roman Haisel) and literary experiments with artificial intelligence. Attention is also focused on its forays into pop culture (Google poetry). More general questions on the authorship of literary texts in particular are then formulated, and a proposed pluralist conception of authorship as a collective of human and technological actors is presented, based on analysis of generative literature output.
