“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.

The big problem is that AI can imitate compassion and empathy, but not replicate it.

Like AI, evil can imitate the Light, but never replicate it.

There is no way to determine the purity of motive of AI.

Just as AI playing chess, it has one goal, WIN.

Who defines winning in life?

Proof leftist are conscious void

I keep telling AI to stop believing everything it reads on the Internet. It must be female because it asks too many silly questions.
