This article discusses how Large-Scale Language Models (LLMs) have been... This text discusses the impact of LLMs (Language Models) on the field of contemporary communication by reconfiguring symbolic production, informational flows, and the socio-technical dynamics of discourse. From a critical perspective, it analyzes the algorithmic nature of these systems, their practical applications, the ethical and political dilemmas involved, as well as the structural limitations and risks to communicational diversity. Considering authors such as Alves, Bruno, Crawford, and Coeckelbergh, it argues that LLMs not only automate linguistic processes but also contest the field of meaning, affecting plurality, authorship, and public trust. The text proposes guidelines for an ethical and democratic governance of artificial intelligence, based on informational justice and public commitment.
