Adeus, mistérios. Arte, sexo e o saber sem corpo da inteligência artificial

Abstract

Based on Guy de Maupassant’s short story Adieu mystères, this article explores the process of disenchantment brought about by modern rationality. Drawing on thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, and Georges Didi-Huberman, it argues that science has established itself not only as knowledge but also as a dispositif of power. In this context, the author questions whether artificial intelligence inaugurates a new regime of truth, one marked by disembodied knowledge that contrasts with human experience, always permeated by desire, anguish, and limitation. Finally, the article suggests that sex and art remain as spaces of mystery and subjective inscription, irreducible to the inorganic logic of machines.
