Proposal of a model for the discursive analysis of interactions with AI chatbots in the light of Bakhtinian concepts in which a controlled polyphony is observed, where all voices are reconciled in a “simulated dialog” that can impoverish critical thinking. We advocate the urgency of AI literacy development considering its ideological, political, and educational implications. Read More →
