Abstract

The article addresses the linguistic and textual problems related to determinants of the communication of human beings and thinking machines, as seen in the selected works of Stanisław Lem. The research focused on the possibilities and limitations in building an effective way of communication between humans and AI, as well as on the phenomenon of extra-linguistic communication prevailing in the world of supercomputers. The article also discusses, based on the example of Lem’s novel Golem XIV, the issue of rhetorical determinants of the Artificial Intelligence argument and identifies the function of the repertoire of genres and forms used by the thinking automaton in the process of engaging in a dialogue with humans.
