If I had to choose, I would say yes.

For this reason, I decided to broaden the scope with different perspectives.\u003cbr\u003eTo activate viewpoints beyond the usual binary reactions (love \/ hate, fascination \/ disgust, interest \/ fear, etc.) typically associated with inputs of this kind, I selected eight major thinkers from the recent past who have addressed these issues at the highest intellectual level. I then asked ChatGPT to step into their shoes and recount what each of them might have said about our conversation.\u003cbr\u003eMy intention is to spark a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the subject, encouraging an exercise in comparison and enrichment through the imagined reflection of highly qualified viewpoints.\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of the book, you will also find an \u003cb\u003eannotated bibliography\u003c\/b\u003e, without any claim of completeness, intended to offer readers ideas and avenues for further exploration; and an \u003cb\u003eappendix\u003c\/b\u003e where I include selected content from some articles on my company blog (https: \/\/innovalang.eu\/il-blog\/) relating to experiences and insights about artificial intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Perotto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798278227809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Federico Perotto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083862450431,"sku":"9798278227809","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/would-you-like-to-have-federico-perotto-9798278227809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
