This article explores the connection between artificial intelligence (AI) and trans-humanist posthumanism, proposing a distinction of "exhaustion/illustration" to understand AI's learning from human intelligence (HI) and vice versa. Ethnomethodology is used to analyze how AI and HI make the world "observable and accountable." The article argues that HI employs a logic of illustration, creating distance to understand the world, while AI uses a logic of exhaustion, aiming to eliminate distance through formalization. The author warns against overlooking the logic of illustration, as it's crucial for evaluating human-machine relationships.
