Beyond Epistemia: Epistemic Schizologia and Large Language Models as Techno-Semiotic Machines

This article accepts that diagnosis but challenges its explanatory framework, to understand a large language model (LLM) as a *techno-semiotic machine* that automates a phase of written semiosis by producing plausible linguistic configurations from the sedimented archive of human writing.
