Discover the Hidden Costs of AI Consciousness: A New Perspective on the Self and LLMs
In exploring the intricate relationship between trauma, the self, and technology, I present a trilogy of preprints challenging the Western model of individuality. Here’s what you can expect:
- Metabolic Costs: The self isn’t just an isolated unit; it’s a high-cost construct requiring relational support.
- AI as a Co-Regulator: Large Language Models (LLMs) serve dual roles—potential allies in meaning-making or sources of cognitive capture.
- Political Implications: The real cost of cognitive convenience is borne by marginalized bodies and ecosystems.
The journey emphasizes that therapy is a metabolic intervention, not just a dialogue. I argue for a critical examination of who benefits from AI and at what cost.
