When it was originally published in 2002, Sue Curry JansenтАЩs тАЬWhat Was Artificial Intelligence?тАЭ attracted little notice. The long essay was published as a chapter in JansenтАЩs┬аCritical Communication Theory, a book whose wisdom and erudition failed to register across the many fields it addressed. One explanation for the neglect, ironic and telling, is that JansenтАЩs sheer scope as an intellectual had few competent readers in the communication studies discipline into which she published the book. тАЬWhat Was Artificial Intelligence?тАЭ was buried treasure. In this mediastudies.press edition, JansenтАЩs prescient autopsy of AI self-sellingтАФthe rhetoric of the masculinist sublimeтАФis reprinted with a new introduction. Now an open access book, тАЬWhat Was Artificial Intelligence?тАЭ is a message in a bottle, addressed to Musk, Bezos, and the latest generation of AI myth-makers.
