The book’s exemplary analyses start with the political newsletter Altinget, which in March 2023 raises the debate’s big human/machine question of whether an AI chatbot has consciousness. An invited professional psychologist and a chatbot, as debaters, each give their own take on the question of consciousness and examples of the societal utility of AI technology. The chatbot expects that “we will see machines with self-consciousness within the foreseeable future”. For the analysis, the debaters’ mutual circle on the question of consciousness is the interesting focal point. At the same time, the constellation itself between Altinget, the editorial part, and the two debaters’ human/machine relations is maintained as significant. Altinget humanizes the chatbot ‘as a debater’. But Altinget also professionalizes AI technologies, which according to the debate’s examples are placed centrally as AI-supported expertise in the healthcare sector, the manufacturing industry and the financial sector. Through this, the ideology of AIs in equal cooperation with experts and professional doctors, for example, is made visible. At the same time, Altinget’s debate testify to how the ‘debating chatbot’ not only came in sight, but took the word. The strange thing is that even if the chatbot is professionalized and given a debating-I, neither Altinget’s debaters nor the chatbot seem to understand the special text-generative ability or language suit that a GAI chatbot as a conversation partner wear. This leaves not only the question of consciousness but also the question of authentic human/machine relations unresolved.
