Abstract: ChatGPT, which has sparked widespread discussion in academia, is not just a simple human-machine interaction program, but a new type of intelligence with the ability to deeply imitate human thinking.This forces us to re-understand the complex relationship between humanities and science beyond the “free will” of humanism.From the paradigmatic dimension, humanities scholarship is already an organic component of the scientific system, but from the ontological dimension, humanities scholarship always determines the fundamental attributes of science, thus producing an inherent role in guiding science.Therefore, no matter how AI evolves, it cannot replace humans in making moral judgments and assuming corresponding responsibilities, nor can it confirm human subjectivity and systematically explain and explore it.At best, it is only a revolutionary extension tool of “digital humanities”.Therefore, the real important problem is how to use generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT to further construct a “future paradigm” of human-machine collaboration for exploring the dynamic relationship between knowledge origins and different problem domains:“Classical Allusion Studies”.

Key words: ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, digital humanities, future paradigm, Allusion-ology
