Large Language Kabbala

Large Language Kabbala is a scholarly book that deals with the historical and theoretical development of large language models. In this work, the author Martin Warnke combines linguistic theories, literary criticism, and mystical interpretations to shed light on the origins and functioning of generative artificial intelligence. The book examines how language structures and text interpretation techniques, rooted in Jewish Kabbalah and linguistics, show parallels to modern AI systems. Warnke argues that the apparent 'hallucinations' of AI should not be understood as errors, but as a natural consequence of linguistic procedures. The book is aimed at readers interested in an in-depth analysis of the linguistic foundations of AI and offers an interdisciplinary approach that integrates both scientific and philosophical perspectives. The critical engagement with the question of to what extent language systems operate without reference to the world encourages reflection on the limits and possibilities of modern technology.
