| Sumario: | Artificial language models are already a part of our world. 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. |
