The Stochastic Review is a literary journal publishing work generated through collaboration between human imagination and artificial intelligence.
Each piece begins with a human instruction and is rendered into language by a machine. We publish both the prompt and the resulting text in order to examine authorship, creativity, and literary form in the age of artificial intelligence. We welcome submissions that explore the artistic, philosophical, and experimental possibilities of AI-generated writing.
