 <p>Lacan famously said that the unconscious is structured like a language. Whether that’s an apt description of the human psyche is at least debatable. But might we say that these models manifest the unconscious structures of language itself? We can catch glimpses of this manifestation in the relatively humble outcome of Shannon’s* experiments: in the Markovian leaps that lead us to make <em>sense</em> out of patterned randomness, leaps which, at the same time, reveal the nonsense that riots on the other side of sense. These experiments allow us to wander through spaces of grammatical, lexical, and stylistic possibility – and the pleasure they offer, for me, lies in their letting us stumble into places where our rule-observant habits might not otherwise let us go.</p>
 <p>What if we were to approach generative AI in the same spirit? Not as the <em>deus ex machina</em> that will save the world (which it almost certainly is not), and not only as a technology that will further alienate and oppress our labor (which it very probably is). But to borrow from Bakhtin, as a carnivalesque mirror of our collective linguistic unconscious: like carnival, offering a sense of freedom from restraint that is, at the same time, the affirmation, by momentary inversion, of the prevailing order of things. But also a reminder that language is the repository of an intelligence neither of the human (considered as an isolated being), nor of the machine, but of the collective, and that making sense is always a political act (<span id="id15">[<a class="reference internal" href="bibliography.html#id7" title="M.
