At an early stage of development, AI was considered a testing ground for human mental behavior, or "an attempt to teach computers to do things that people think computers can't do."

ChatGPT doesn't understand sarcasm, doesn't play language games, and doesn't distinguish truth from falsehood, but the same can be said about many people who are unable to distinguish between original text and neural network-generated text, a work of art from trash, an expert from a shill. That is why AI can become the best assistant to plagiarists and fake news makers.

The Turing test checks whether a computer can imitate an intelligent human being, but sociobiology insists that humans are successful imitators from the point of view of evolution, with more serial than intelligent in their nature.

During the lecture, we will consider the following questions:
— Is classical philosophy wrong in considering the mind a unique human trait?
— Has neuroscience revealed "human nature"?
— How artificial are human thinking and language?

Lecturer:
Olena Komar is a philosopher, associate professor and lecturer at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and the Cultural Project.
Participant of the Book Arsenal programs, Visiting Scholar/Professor at Ruhr-University Bochum, Visiting Scholar/Professor at Ruhr-University Bochum, Fellow at Situated Cognition Research Training Group (RTG). Her research interests include cognitive science, neurophilosophy, epistemology, analytic philosophy, and the methodology of science
