"From what we know, my conclusion is: no. The imaginarization of the symbolic remains a spectacle, staged strictly for subjects external to the AI machine.

Furthermore, this imaginarization of the symbolic is just one side of the process, whose other side is the falling of the symbolic into the real (which implies the disappearance of the symbolic castration). That is to say, the traditional structure of conferring a symbolic mandate on a person, of interpellating it into a socio-symbolic identity, automatically involves a gap between the symbolic mandate and the immediate reality of a person – say, a father is never fully a father, because his psycho-social reality is never at the level of his title."
