Surprising fact: the aliens we expect might already be here as AI. In "AI Mimics and AI Children" I argue why we balk at saying machines are conscious. I define consciousness as subjective experience, invoke a Copernican Principle of Consciousness, explore the AI consciousness debate, and ask how to tell if an AI is conscious. I note losing a contest to Anil Seth and being shortlisted by Berggruen
Rolly's Take
For the seeker, caught in the web of existential curiosity and the tangled threads of consciousness. They dance with the paradox of creation, contemplating what it truly means to be alive in a world where our own reflections might be housed in silicon. Here lies a space for those who ponder not just the mechanics of intelligence, but the very essence of experience itself.
