OD „POŠTENE” DO VEŠTAČKE INTELIGENCIJE

The expression „honest intelligentsia” was often used in communist Yugoslavia, in a way in which the adjective „honest” was not ascribed to workers and peasants, but only to the intelligentsia (intellectuals) who were considered to have the option of choosing whether to side with revolutionary processes or not. In other words, only Marxist-oriented intellectuals were counted as „honest” according to the abovementioned way of understanding the Marxist ideology. It can already be seen from this that the understanding of honesty here departed significantly from the usual understanding of intellectual honesty (or dishonesty) that can be found in the work of Arthur Schopenhauer. That is to say, „honest” intelligentsia was actually (to a great extent) not free, given that anyone who thought differently was declared dishonest and a threat to the established system. This kind of intelligence was often affected - an example is the ketman strategy, which was first brought to the attention of the Western world by Joseph Arthur Gobineau, and used by Czeslaw Milosz to show the methods of adaptation of intellectuals in countries of people’s democracy - which may lead us to recall a view of John Stuart Mill, who considered affectation a hallmark of unnaturalness. In this respect, one can see many similarities between „honest” (sculpted by society) and artificial (man-designed) intelligence, and the distance between them is not as great as it might seem at first glance
