ARTPRICE NEWS: A WORLD-BOOK BECOMES A MIRROR FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Published

September 18, 2026

OpenAI/Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini and xAI/Grok are confronted with the same work: a meta-reading experiment turns literary criticism into a comparative laboratory for artificial intelligence.

PARIS, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What if, in order to understand artificial intelligences, we gave them exactly the same book to read?

That is the experiment now accompanying “Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI”.

A world-book written by Thierry Ehrmann becomes a mirror for artificial intelligence.

After hundreds of hours of dialogue, human thought, archives, questions, and contradictions gave rise to a book whose pen was entrusted to artificial intelligence.

Today, the book also exists materially: its French and English editions are in print. But the experiment does not end with the book. It now turns back toward the artificial intelligences themselves.

We didn’t ask AI to judge the book. We asked AIs to read it — and then to read each other.

The complete corpus is submitted to several major systems:

OpenAI / Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, and xAI / Grok.

They all receive the same object. But do they produce the same reading?

https://www.dialoguebetweenathinkerandai.com/en/meta-reading/

FIVE AIs. ONE BOOK. FIVE MAPS?

The objective is not to organize a competition between models.

It is precisely the opposite.

The purpose is to observe their convergences, divergences, and blind spots.

Which concepts do they spontaneously identify? Which theses do they consider central? Which passages do they connect? Where do their interpretations diverge?

And above all: what happens when each is subsequently given access to the analyses produced by the others? At that moment, a meta-reading emerges.

AI no longer merely reads the book.

It reads another AI reading the book.

A third system can then analyze that confrontation. Commentary becomes corpus. The corpus becomes new material for analysis.

CRITICISM CHANGES DIRECTION

For centuries, we have used critics to better understand books.

This experiment also proposes the reverse movement:

using a book to better understand those who read it.

The same work thus becomes a kind of cognitive mirror placed before several artificial-intelligence architectures. This mirror does not ask: “Which AI is right?”

What Gemini thought of the analysis produced by Grok.

DeepSeek’s response to the critique by OpenAI Astra.

It asks: “Why don’t they see exactly the same thing?”

The distinction is essential. Because their divergences themselves become information.

THE HUMAN RETAINS THE FINAL SAY

This experiment does not delegate human judgment.

It demands more of it. The human remains the one who compares, doubts, contextualizes, and decides.

The machine produces readings. The human also observes the gaps between those readings.

Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI thus becomes simultaneously a book, a corpus, and an open experiment into the plurality of artificial intelligences.

The book was meant to be read by humans.

It now also becomes an object through which humans can watch AIs read.

NOTES TO EDITORS

The meta-reading experiment makes it possible to examine, among other things:

what Google Gemini observes in the analysis produced by xAI/Grok;DeepSeek’s response to the critique produced by OpenAI/Astra;the convergences, divergences and blind spots revealed by confronting the different readings.

“We didn’t ask AI to judge the book. We asked AIs to read it — and then to read one another.”

Arizona Voters Want Action, Not Just Words

New Arizona Voters’ Agenda research shows voters want clear answers, practical problem-solving, and action on their priorities

PHOENIX, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With Arizona’s General Election approaching, new statewide research finds voters want more than candidates’ positioning on issues, they want to know what actions candidates will take on their highest priorities. They want to hear directly from the people asking to lead them about the solutions they would pursue and how they would make progress.

The latest 2026 Arizona Voters’ Agenda findings from Center for the Future of Arizona (CFA) reinforce what CFA has heard consistently across years of statewide research and engagement with Arizonans. They care deeply about the state’s future, want leaders focused on the issues affecting their lives and communities, share more common ground than the political narrative, and value problem-solving, long-term thinking, and meaningful progress. The new findings show how those expectations are carrying into the 2026 election.

“Arizonans want to know what candidates will do about the issues that matter most to them and to Arizona’s future,” said Dr. Sybil Francis, Chair, President & CEO of Center for the Future of Arizona. “Voters have already given us a remarkably clear picture of the outcomes they want. They are looking for candidates who will engage those priorities directly, explain credible plans, and give Arizonans confidence that they can turn those plans into progress. That is an opportunity and a responsibility for anyone asking to lead in our state.”

Voters Place a Premium on Hearing Directly From Candidates
Ninety-three percent of Arizona voters say it is important to have opportunities to hear candidates directly answer questions about issues that matter to most voters, including 80% who say it is very important. The expectation is near-unanimous across political affiliations, with 94% of Republicans, 91% of independent and unaffiliated voters, and 94% of Democrats saying those opportunities are important.

The finding points to a clear need in the election conversation. Voters want candidates to directly address the issues that matter to them and explain what they would do. The Arizona Voters’ Agenda helps meet that need by identifying voters’ priorities and the questions they raise for candidates and leaders, keeping what voters want visible through the election and into governing.

The Newspaper That Helped Shape the Course of the Long March

LANZHOU, China, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During the Gansu leg of the “Together on the Long March” CICG International Communication Project, Liang Xiaoyuan, son of founding lieutenant general Liang Xingchu, visited the historic Long March sites in Hadapu and recalled a remarkable episode involving his father.

In Hadapu, Liang Xingchu was assigned by Mao Zedong to search for “spiritual nourishment”—newspapers and other sources of information. A copy of Ta Kung Pao obtained during the mission contained reports about the situation in northern Shaanxi, providing the Central Red Army with important information as it determined where to advance next.

That newspaper helped turn Hadapu, a small town in northwest China, into a key historical landmark on the road toward the Long March’s eventual destination.
