Advances in artificial intelligence also suggest an understanding of the human mind as computer software. On the other hand, we are increasingly engaging in simulations of human subjectivity and empathy, for example in the form of chatbots in psychotherapy. In other words: We are looking at ourselves more and more like our machines, and conversely our machines like ourselves. So what is the difference between human and artificial intelligence? And what are the consequences of the increasing simulation of subjectivity in our everyday lives?
