Description
Summary:What is occurring with the new A.I. is the inscription into reality of new forms of agere, but not of intelligere. But the moral, creative, poetic, artistic, aesthetic and educational agere and intelligere will remain, even in the face of science-fictional perspectives, exclusively human prerogatives and responsibilities, those that allow us to recognise the beauty and poetry inherent in blackberry brambles and wild strawberries, white daisies, yellow buttercups or lilac carpets of veronicas in a fallow meadow, preserving them from the blindness of indiscriminate cutting determined by a blind algorithm. Machines that do not know, do not see and do not feel feelings, neither in the sphere of the emotional sphere, nor in that of the aesthetic and poetic dimension of man, which, as in Kant and Schiller, invites us to consider aesthetic judgement as part of the mind’s more refined faculties, together with the abilities of the rational mind, to be educated and refined in a game of harmony of the parts closely connected to genius, but also to the ingenuous and the sublime. Harmonic complexity of wisdom, intellect, reason and feeling, intuition and emotion that no machine can ever equal.
