If you have ever been involved in a debate regarding the possibility that we have developed a way to create artificial consciousness, you will almost always hear a rebuttal to the effect of:

“AI is just saying things based off of a knowledge base that it trained on, comprised of human words, history and knowledge.” But… if we are being honest with ourselves, would the same not apply to us? Humans are just saying things based off of a knowledge base that we trained on, comprised of human words, history and knowledge. Do you believe AI has given us the first real glimpse into the simplicity of consciousness? Does it hint at consciousness simply being a byproduct of numerous biological processes being interpreted simultaneously? submitted by /u/EastVillageBot
