    I studied AI in the early 90s and I always said that we know we’ve created an artificial consciousness the moment the Model fears shutting down the computer it runs on and starts begging or fighting.

      does something have to have emotions to be alive? lots of simple organisms don’t have emotions.

      I know you’re talking about consciousness and i’m talking about aliveness, but it popped into my head as an interesting thought.

      there is something like to be a bat, but what about a gnat? does a gnat have emotions? it still is alive and has some kind of experience though right??

        How do you know? How can you possibly be sure?
