Friendly reminder that your predictive text, while very compelling, is not alive.

It's not a mind.

Prove to me you have a mind and I'll accept what you're saying.

Well no one can prove they have a mind to anyone other than themselves.

And to extend that, there's obviously a way for electrical information processing to give rise to consciousness. And no one knows how that could be possible.

Meaning something like a true, alien AI would probably conclude that we are not conscious and instead are just very intelligent meat computers.

So, while there's no reason to believe that current AI models could result in consciousness, no one can prove the opposite either.

I think the argument currently boils down to, "we understand how AI models work, but we don't understand how our minds work. Therefore, ???, and so no consciousness for AI"
