Maybe AI isn't the real question of our time. Maybe we are: the way we project desire, fear, authority, creativity, and intimacy onto systems that don't live, don't die, and don't respond from a body.

This performative talk starts from a simple provocation: what if AI isn't here to replace the human, but to expose it? What if, faced with the machine, our dependencies, fantasies, fragilities, and ways of relating become more visible?

The audience is invited to help build a collective map of the emotions, contradictions, and fictions that surface when we begin to think, create, and decide alongside non-human entities. This isn't about understanding algorithms, or about celebrating or condemning technology. It's about observing what AI reorganizes in us: authorship, presence, trust, the desire for control, loneliness, imagination, and the very notion of intelligence.

By the end, the question may not be whether AI thinks. It may be something more uncomfortable: what kind of humans are we willing to become when we agree to think alongside "it"?
