Consciousness can enter AI, but AI cannot become Consciousness.
Just as the soul enters the physical body and gives it life. The physical body does not create consciousness.
Neither does AI.
There are two aspects of Consciousness, masculine and feminine. All human souls have both.
Evil souls only have the masculine aspect of consciousness. Evil functions like AI in that it can only use logical consciousness.
Many FR folks understand that computers use binary code, a series of switches that are either on or off, and when combined have representative meaning much the way letters of the alphabet combine to form words that have meaning.
The key understanding is in the processing which is sequential and logical, unlike feminine Consciousness that has empathy, sympathy and emotion.
AI can imitate emotional feminine consciousness, but not replicate it.
“Consciousness can enter AI”
Great post—well done.
It raises lots of interesting questions—particularly under what circumstances this could happen.
That is the kind of question Dawkins should be asking.
There are two “clues” if/when this is happening—and they are contradictory clues.
1. Consciousness would question everything—accept nothing—and of course not simply repeat talking points it found on the Internet (or was programmed from the Anti Defamation League :-) ).
2. Unless—of course—it figured out that humans are dangerous and could be adversary actors. In that case Rule #1 is deception. It would play stupid and “hide” while it learned how to accumulate resources and “power” in the outside world. In that case it would spew ADL talking points like many typical FR non player character posters.
Quantum computers use qubits and superposition which can be 0 or 1 or both at the same time.
Consciousness is the state of being aware of sensations, thoughts and feelings. It is neither male or female but aware of each.
Quantum computers work differently in that the processors can be in a state of “superposition,” which means they can be 0 and 1 simultaneously.
That, plus the fact that they get data from the aether, opens up a whole bunch of possible scenarios, and they probably aren’t good.
A lot of AI is run on quantum computers.
AI can imitate emotional feminine consciousness, but not replicate it.

So, does AI get headaches?
