CHATGPT AND THE REPRESSED UNCONSCIOUS by Slavoj Zizek (Digital Edition Only)

In this extended version of Zizek's essay on AI, he argues that chatbots are machines of perversion, and that they obfuscate the unconscious more than anything else: precisely because they allow us to spit out all our dirty fantasies and obscenities. In this sense, they are more repressive than even the strictest forms of symbolic censorship.
