The aim of this article is to introduce three successive modalities of our relationship with Artificial Intelligence. First, we will attempt to show that Artificial Intelligence (AI) remains indebted in its intellectual genesis on the cybernetic man-machine analogy, and that this is important to understand the ambiguous modeling relationship (Dupuy, 2005) that this metaphor constitutes for distributed knowledge in general. However, we will not be content with this discursive observation, and will look for the more material causes of what we see as a naturalization of Artificial Intelligence, in the idea of AI as the reification of an organization of work (Pasquinelli, 2023). Finally, we put forward the more general hypothesis of a faulty relationship with technology perceived as a form rather than a process (Young, 2021).
