Seems like researchers are getting uncomfortably good at mimicking consciousness- so much so that it’s beginning to make me question the deepest parts of my own brain. Perhaps the difference between AI and myself is that I am only prompted by outward stimuli? It seems as though that is what makes the intelligence “artificial”
Christ even as I type this, my thought processes mimic, for example, deepseek’s exposed deep think capabilities. Fuck idk if I’ll be able to unsee it. Seems like the only thing we have on it right now is emotion and even that seems to be in danger
My final takeaway from all of this is that we are in hell
I think, like a lot of current ‘market disruptors’ AI firms are generally running at a loss. I think a lot of them will go out of business within the next few years/ the next big economic downturn. It sucks right now, but things will get better on this front I think.
