Thirty years ago, we proposed the similarity between the functioning of artificial intelligence and the human psyche, suggesting multiple parallels between the Freudian model proposed in the "Project for Psychology for Neurologists" and the connectionist theories applied in the generation of parallel distributed processing systems (PDP), also known as connectionist models. These models have been and continue to be the foundation of general artificial intelligences like ChatGPT, evolving and gaining prominence in everyday life. From the earliest applications in psychiatry, recreating computationally simulated modes of illnesses, to the use of deep learning models, especially in the field of computer vision for tasks such as image recognition, segmentation, and classification. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) are employed for tasks involving sequences of data, such as natural language processing, or models based on the Transformer architecture, like BERT and GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), which have revolutionized natural language processing. In this present work, we analyze the significance of the emergence and exponential growth of these types of tools in the field of healthcare, from medical diagnosis and patient care to psychological attention and psychotherapeutic treatment, exploring the changes and transformations in the forms of subjective expression that are arising. We also examine and argue for the importance and validity of the relational dimension proposed by our psychoanalytic approach in contrast to the potential use of these tools as treatment models.
三十年前,我们提出了人工智能的功能与人类心理之间的相似性,认为在《神经学家的心理学计划》中提出的弗洛伊德模型与应用于并行分布式处理系统 (PDP) 的连接主义理论之间存在多种相似之处,这些理论也被称为连接主义模型。这些模型一直是 ChatGPT 等通用人工智能的基础,并在日常生活中不断发展和得到重视。从最早在精神病学中的应用,重新创建计算模拟的疾病模式,到深度学习模型的使用,特别是在计算机视觉领域用于图像识别、分割和分类等任务,循环神经网络 (RNN) 和长短时记忆 (LSTM) 用于涉及数据序列的任务,例如自然语言处理,或基于 Transformer 架构的模型,如 BERT 和 GPT(生成式预训练转换器),这些模型彻底改变了自然语言处理。在本研究中,我们分析了这些类型的工具在医疗保健领域的出现和指数增长的意义,从医学诊断和患者护理到心理关注和心理治疗,探讨了正在出现的主观表达形式的变化和转变。我们还研究和论证了我们的精神分析方法所提出的关系维度的重要性和有效性,与这些工具作为治疗模型的潜在用途形成对比。
