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

    There’s something besides emotion and thought, right? Something that’s there even if you don’t think, don’t feel. Something that’s watching. The “you” that just exists, just experiences. That’s consciousness. What AI mimickes is not consciousness itself but it’s functionality. So, chill.

    Another interesting thing: Wernicke’s Aphasia. The part of the brain that generates speech works independently from the area that gives speech coherence and meaning.
