Abstract: The space constructed by intelligent platforms serve several functions as follows: it enables the subject to act while bypassing the gaze of the Other; it provides the subject with effective answers that respond to the Real of the Other’s desire (symbolic order); it assists and accelerates the subject’s construction of a series of fantasy frameworks that transform jouissance into surplus-jouissance. Consequently, the subject acquires, without the interference of the Other, a “comfort zone” within such space. The subject thus individually enjoys surplus-jouissance within a personal virtual space, leading to the further proliferation of narcissism within society. However, within this vicious cycle of currency and jouissance constructed by intelligent platforms, the subject will ultimately decline amidst the increasingly depleted desire of the pseudo-Other, and thereby ultimately loses him/herself. If the subject wants to extricate him/herself from the replicable jouissance and pleasure offered by intelligent platforms, he/she must awaken from the temptation of escaping the Other, confront the real Other with an open attitude and at length overcomes such temptation.

Key words: subject, artificial intelligence, symbolic order, fantasy
