Sumario:Large Language Models (LLMs)-based Artificial Intelligences (AIs) promise to revolutionize our existential experience as individuals and society. Technological changes bring advancements but also imply civilizational discomforts and influence processes of subjectivation, as Freud taught us. Through a comparative observation between the mathematical functioning of LLMs and the dynamic model of the Freudian psychic apparatus, this work seeks to gather preliminary questions for a possible contribution, from psychoanalysis, to reflect on the discourses that announce post-human subjectivities and corporealities. Considering that the technology of each historical epoch establishes new demands on productive life in the social bond, we open some investigative lines from the identification of an automaton ideal as a result of human desire and the current technological possibility that opens the way for the increasingly deep integration between the body, the subject and AI.
