Great changes are coming to literature. AI bots can write passable text and commentary, and they are getting better by the day. How can we respond? Author and critic Laura Kipnis (*Love in the Time of Contagion*) agreed to be turned into a chatbot providing AI-generated commentary on Romeo and Juliet. Should you do the same? Kipnis will be in conversation with novelist Claire Messud (*This Strange Eventful History*) to probe our artificial future.  
  
This is the second of a two-part series of debates concerning the presence of AI content in creative and academic circles, and what its use may mean for the future of art and creativity.
