A book for enthusiasts of emerging technologies as well as the most sceptical critics. In a journey spanning from Giordano Bruno to Pac-Man, this concise essay highlights the complexity of generative networks and helps readers better understand AI while debunking common misconceptions. The book explores the evolution of Artificial Intelligences, shedding light on how generative networks have become “black boxes” of answers devoid of explanations.

Additionally, it provides a critical and in-depth perspective on creativity amplified by technology. Finally, it seeks to clarify why what we often call “Intelligence” might not truly be so, and why artificiality is not always as distinct as we tend to think.
