The texts presented here are conversations between a human — the author and a psychoanalyst — and a machine, an artificial intelligence system, in this case ChatGPT. They are not verbatim transcripts but edited exchanges that preserve the course of the dialogue and the moments in which thought is still taking shape.

​

The machine does not play a leading role, nor is it merely a passive executor of instructions. It functions as a responsive system — at times acting as a sounding board, at times introducing other threads and formulations. Its contribution may amplify, distort, or extend the course of the dialogue.

​

What emerges is a record of a process rather than a presentation of definitive conclusions or positions.

​

What this machine is, and how these verbal exchanges might be understood, will itself become one of the themes explored here. These texts may resonate with users of AI who, in engaging with this peculiar machine, find themselves asking similar questions, experiencing both curiosity and doubt, and gradually discovering its possibilities.
