Originally, Stiles's poetry focused on technology. In 2017, she discovered [[natural language processing]], piquing her interest in its ability to process thoughts and words comparably to its human counterparts. Despite lacking a technological background, she managed to channel people like Gwern Branwen, Ross Goodwin, and [[Allison Parrish]] as inspirations for her AI work, and in 2019, she started training an AI model named Technelegy.{{Cite news|last=Droitcour |first=Brian |date= 2025-10-01 |title=Seeing Through the Slop: Brian Droitcour's Guide to Digital Art That Slaps |url=https://www.culturedmag.com/article/2025/10/01/art-ai-digital-guide-brian-droitcour/ |access-date=2026-04-18 |website=Cultured }}{{Cite news |last=Last-Bernal |first=Luna |date=2025-11-30 |title=REVIEW: Sasha Stiles Brings Language to Life at MoMA in “A LIVING POEM” |url=https://www.thelunacollective.co/journal/review-sasha-stiles |access-date=2026-03-30 |website=The Luna Collective}} In 2021, [[Black Spring Press]] published her poetry collection ''Technelegy'', where she combines AI-generated content produced by the titular AI model with her own traditionally-created work;{{Cite web |last=Kent |first=Charlotte |date=July 30, 2024 |title=Sasha Stiles’s Technelegy |url=https://brooklynrail.org/2022/05/books/Sasha-Stiless-Technelegy/ |access-date=2026-03-29 |website=The Brooklyn Rail}} the AI-generated content was produced by processing Stiles's own poetry onto [[GPT-2]] and [[GPT-3]].

Stiles also has used [[non-fungible token]]s as a platform for her poetry, having been inspired to go into blockchain by her experiences working with a metaverse exhibition curated by Jess Conatser. She has used [[Christie's]] and SuperRare to sell several of her poems as [[tokenized real-world asset]]s, including ''Daughter of E.V.E. (Ex-Vivo Uterine Environment)'', a 2021 [[single-channel video]] using [[freeze-frame shot]]s to hide poetry. In 2021, she co-founded TheVerseVerse (stylized as theVERSEverse), a |

She later created ''Four Core Texts: Humanifesto and Other Poems'', involving four NFT videos of poetry written in looping handwriting and powered by Technelegy. |

Stiles uses binary code as an inspiration for her work, citing in part its "quite antagonistic system of a binary 'EITHER / OR'", which she connected to several dichotomies pitting humanity and the present against technology and the future. In 2018, she started ''Analog Binary Code'', where she creates sculptures by arranging objects in [[binary code]] ciphers.{{Cite web |title=Sasha Stiles - Beyond Binary |url=https://www.art-magazine.ai/artist-directory/feature/sasha-stiles-beyond-binary |access-date=2026-03-29 |website=www.art-magazine.ai}} She also created ''Cursive Binary'', where she combines binary with cursive handwriting,{{Cite web |title=Cursive Binary |url=https://www.sashastiles.com/cursivebinary |access-date=2026-03-29 |website=Sasha Stiles}} after writing zeros and ones on a steamed wall while showering. |
