The boundary between real and artificial text can no longer be maintained. There is ultimately no reliable way to distinguish whether a text is “human” or “synthetic”. Once a text is written, it no longer belongs to us, at least not in a philosophical sense. What remains distinctly human is not the text but the act of writing, and the act of reading and understanding. The more we intensify these acts, the more fully our humanness emerges.

“The collapse of language happened around that time. Already words increasingly lost their meaning and history, texts became more and more repetitious and language became solely a means for communication. But this process was then greatly exacerbated by language models that step by step replaced the process of writing. At last, humans altogether stopped expressing themselves by means of language.”
