Sumario:The article explores the limitations of AI systems like ChatGPT in understanding human interiority and meaning, focusing on how spam filters and AI pattern recognition often misinterpret non-instrumental communication. It highlights the distinction between AI’s algorithmic processing of language patterns and humans’ subjective, creative experience rooted in personal identity and private insight. The author reflects on the cultural and spiritual implications of relying on AI for communication and knowledge, emphasizing that while AI can synthesize collective information efficiently, it lacks the capacity for genuine self-awareness or creativity. The piece argues for valuing individual interiority as essential to creativity and cultural progress, suggesting that human uniqueness should complement rather than be replaced by AI’s pattern-based intelligence.
