Las entrañas de la inteligencia artificial y lo entrañable de su uso

This article examines two questions. The first is whether modern generative and general-purpose artificial intelligences can be considered engaging technologies; the answer is ambivalent, as it depends on how they will be embedded in the lives of users. The second question is whether the promise of singularity, which would lead to the impossibility of their being engaging technologies, can be realized or not: the answer is negative for several arguments that are put forward and affect both the generality of their purpose and their artificiality. The conclusion is that we should consider them as tools in a framework of hybrid agency.
