ChatGPT and The End of History: A Theoretical Drafting of Its Perils and Promises from the Scope of Philology

Since the launch of the free-of-payment, public beta version of OpenAI.com’s ChatGPT in November 2022 the use of “chatbots” has become a world-widespread phenomenon and has begun to generate new —and evoke some old— reflections on what is the role of machines in some primarily human processes such as reading and writing. The main objective here is to analyse some of the promises and perils of this technology with theoretic and methodological instruments of Philology. In this paper we will address three problems around the use of the chatbot: the lack of traceability and hierarchy of its sources, the risk of total delegation of tasks of reading and writing, and the loss of subjective interaction with the text that this would imply in the processes of reading and writing. The perspectives used in this analysis will come from three different disciplines: education and literacy studies, philosophy, and foremost philology: from the analysis we will be able to show a few desirable changes that could prevent some of these perils. Los modelos de lenguaje artificial ya son parte de nuestro mundo. Desde noviembre de 2022, y con el lanzamiento al público de forma gratuita de la versión beta del ChatGPT de OpenAI.com, la utilización de los “chatbots” se masificó y comenzó a generar nuevas —y evocar viejas— reflexiones a propósito de cuál es el rol de las máquinas en procesos tan eminentemente humanos como la lectura y la escritura. El objetivo central es analizar algunas de las promesas y peligros de esta tecnología a partir de herramientas teóricas de la filología. Para ello, inicialmente, se presentará el chat, mediante los usos que ofrece y algunas muestras de los textos que produce. Luego se explorarán tres problemas en torno al uso de ChatGPT: la falta de trazabilidad y jerarquización de sus fuentes, el riesgo de delegación total de tareas de lectura y escritura que habilita, y la pérdida de interacción subjetiva que esto implicaría en los procesos de lectura y escritura. Las perspectivas que se utilizarán para abordar este fenómeno integran reflexiones sobre la educación, la enseñanza de la lectura y la escritura, la filosofía y, principalmente, la filología; este análisis concluirá señalando modificaciones deseables que podrían contribuir con la prevención de estos peligros.
