“Like the Devil in the Middle Ages, the AI here is essentially a phallic god, a fantasy of uncivilised (and amoral) sexuality; a fantasy of having sex with a beastly figure is a powerful gesture of transgression, of leaving “civilised” humanity and functioning only in the area of instincts and the body.”

“Our biology is, after all, fundamentally “unconscious” in the sense that we have no control nor clear knowledge of the “corporeal” reality inside ourselves. Isn't that after all the definition of a black-box? Isn't that exactly how the hidden layers of an AI system look like?”

“Language is what feeds the AI, and don't forget there is a close connection between language and violence, and there are inherited anxieties and fears transmitted by the introjection and incorporation of language into an AI system.

“For can I, in fact, say that I am this language I speak, into which my thought insinuates itself to the point of finding in it the system of all its own possibilities, yet which exists only in the weight of sedimentations my thought will never be capable of actualizing altogether? I can say, equally well, that I am and that I am not all this; the cogito does not lead to an affirmation of being, but it does lead to a whole series of questions concerned with being: What must I be, I who think and who am my thought, in order to be what I do not think, in order for my thought to be what I am not?”

“Language’s final protective barrier against madness is the meaning of Being. But language is not a phenomenon separate from existence: there are units of existence we call “selves” and units of language (“words”), and both of them share common logic – nothing is in itself. Not even the AI.”
