O Grande Ilusionista e o Duplo Digital: Reflexões Psicanalíticas Sobre a Inteligência Artificial no Advento de uma Realidade Hiperbólica

Resumo
Este artigo reflete nas relações do ser humano com a tecnologia digital e o respetivo impacto no desenvolvimento e funcionamento da mente humana. Considera-se o efeito disruptivo da introdução acelerada do digital, as mudanças profundas na organização da vida social e familiar e as potenciais consequências da ausência do tempo para a maturação dos processos adaptativos, necessários à estruturação da mente. Procura-se compreender de que forma a vida hiperconectada no espaço digital, desde a infância, pode interferir na adequada construção do espaço mental. Identificam-se potenciais riscos de configurações psicopatológicas ao nível da apreensão da realidade, da capacidade de pensar, e da experiência emocional subjetiva, fruto da distorção da vivência do espaço e do tempo, que parecem oferecer uma geometria distinta da realidade. Através de uma análise das diferentes características da inteligência artificial generativa, exploram-se os possíveis motivos para a sua criação e os riscos inerentes à interação entre o ser humano e a máquina, considerando a componente ilusória da experiência e insuportabilidade da finitude inerente à condição humana. Propõe-se a Psicanálise como quadro teórico e clínico adequado a problematizar e intervir nos fenómenos resultantes da coalescência entre o espaço mental e o espaço digital.
