African literary responses to AI

Earlier reading covered the copyright page, contents, editorial note (printed p. 1) and AI: Abstract I (pp. 3–4) in the 70-page PDF, not the whole volume. The copyright year 2023 does not establish a September publication date. The alternative 77-page edition was initially acquired only incompletely. The poetic narrator is not evidence of the author’s employment history. Batch 944 obtained the complete 77-page copy and checked its copyright, contents, editorial on printed pp. 1–2 and the first editorial page visually. Differences in titles, editorial text and pagination are confirmed; edition order and first publication remain unresolved. The qualified editorial disclaimer is not an audit establishing AI-free production. Batch 945 adds reception evidence from a 2025 Vienna master’s thesis, doc-1491, through selected introduction and conclusion passages only. Its digital neo-colonialism, Ubuntu and language arguments are the researcher’s interpretation, not a collective author position or technical experiment. Edition dates remain unresolved.
