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
We’re a long, long way away from anything like that. Those technologies are nacent and almost entirely marketing hype to inflate stonks prices.
At most, combining those two technologies would be useful for customer service type jobs (think AI-augmented customer appeasement scripts) but people require too much maintenance, which is expensive — capital would sooner get rid of them altogether.
