(Admission from 5:30 p.m.) at the Pilkentafel
„What happens to our thinking when we increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Gemini, or other chatbots to explain the world to us and to write our texts? Will we soon start thinking like chatbots? Do we still think at all? And where did the chatbots actually go to school?
The cultural and media philosopher Simanowski explores these questions in his new book Language Machines: A Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence, published by C.H.Beck in October. He will present his findings on November 26 at the Pilkentafel in an interactive reading with Q&A.”
