David R. Gruber (Communication Studies) published a philosophical paper in Rhizomes: Cultural Studies in Emerging Knowledge outlining a new ontology. The work is inspired by a poem produced by ChatGPT after being prompted to “write a poem using combinations of words not found anywhere on the Internet as far as your data knows.” The result is an "Amorphigrist Ontology" emphasizing the amorphous and exceedingly complex nature of existence. The paper seeks a non-trivial human-nonhuman philosophy of Being. Reflectively, the paper also considers AI's partnership with humans on a journey of ontological discovery.
