⚠️ IMPORTANT: THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION
ASTEL is a work of fiction created as part of a literary project by author Léo Strintz.
None of the technologies, services, or transformations described on this site actually exist. This is a narrative universe designed to promote an upcoming novel.
No element of this site is for sale. Only the novel will be available for purchase.
Written without A.I.
The entire novel ASTEL was run through PANGRAM. Result: 100% human.
Our relationship to A.I. is a conflicted one, because it is eminently political. At first glance, it is an automation tool fulfilling every right-wing fantasy. It is also a promised ally of the left, for its capacity to make all beings equal.
One thing is certain: some people praise the content of this site but lament that it was made with A.I. Under the guise of Luddite reflection, this is a bourgeois reflex. Everything achieved visually here would have required, without recourse to A.I., tens of millions of euros at the very least. A.I. was not used to free us from a lack of talent: it was used to free us from a lack of means.
That is the whole difference: that is the whole point.
This is why, conversely, we wanted to demonstrate here that our literary talent required nothing but ourselves. This is the very marrow of literature, and the reason why A.I. is its intrinsic contradiction – and this has always held true for everything in literature that is not interiority.
So we ran Astel, along with our previous novels, through PANGRAM, a software that detects traces of A.I. in texts. Unfailing result: 100% human. Not a single percent that is not human, and rightly so: they represent tens of thousands of hours of work, accumulated over ten years of total devotion.
The real question is simple. What is artificial, beyond A.I. itself. What is true. What is necessary.
This is what Astel is about: learning to see, to feel, to set oneself free. New senses, to remember what is true.
