　　Abstract

　　The consequences of AI for political science, let alone democracy, remain obscure. Scholars would do best not to parrot either the hand-wringing despair or pollyannish enthusiasm of popular perspectives, but to instead soberly approach the advent of new technologies. Given its significant limitations, ChatGPT in particular does not (yet) appear to be the world-historical invention initial assessments perceived, as evidenced by the test case of Ernst Bloch.
