Funny how what the book talks about… is exactly what’s happening. Kind of meta.
The author doesn’t exist. The whole essay is fake—or a “philosophical experiment”[1], according to Andrea Colamedici, the real italian author behind it, who was supposedly just the translator. And those words aren’t his either. They came from two AI platforms (still unnamed).
It’s been a scandal in publishing, and in all the universities and newspapers that praised it as a fresh way to understand the present.
Now, of course, intellectuals and journalists are justifying “the intellectual debate the book sparked”, asking if these new “philosophical entities” are the start of a new wave of “hybrid works...” and so on.
Well. They’ve basically discovered "vibe philosophizing": feeling deep truths without knowing where they come from or why they sound right.
