The dissemination of LLM’s as ChatGPT generates doubts and issues of first scale for researchers and professors, especially those of humanities. From the experience of giving lessons of literature and literary theory, arises multiple critical views and calls for thinking new technologies, its problems, and some ethical, cognitive and philosophical implications of its use. This article aims to discuss some of these possibilities, with special attention to the potential power and to the implicit limits of technology, which, as Neil Postman put, always giveth and always taketh away.
