Where the meta-automation introduced by generative artificial intelligence tends to close the indeterminate within calculable prediction, human metatechnics — situated, relational, historical — opens breaches into the unknown. No form of deep learning can emulate this radical openness, because it is not a function but a threshold.

They had the algorithm, we had the anomaly. They had the training, we had the invention.
The Boomernaut
The term artificial intelligence (AI) covers several domains and meanings. In this essay, when I refer to AI — whether in the singular or plural (in the latter case meaning current implementations such as ChatGPT, DeepSeek, or Claude) — I mean, unless otherwise specified, generative artificial intelligence applied to language: the family of techniques that, by applying machine learning models to vast datasets, produce large language models (LLMs) capable of generating new content.
To clarify metaphorically the relationship among these elements:
- The Dataset is the universal library of texts — the raw material.
- Machine Learning is the method of study that allows one to learn from that library.
- The LLM is the result of this process: an “expert mind” that has internalized the rules of language.
- Generative AI is the ability of that mind to act creatively, producing original texts.
- The Chatbot is the conversational interface with the AI that uses natural language.
