A new theory of consciousness, partially generated by artificial intelligence, is making waves online. The concept posits that the universe is fundamentally composed of information and operates as a self-optimizing computer program. In this model, consciousness serves as a “Debug Tool,” identifying and resolving errors to maintain the universe’s logical consistency. The theory further suggests the human brain acts as the hardware interface connecting individuals to this underlying informational reality. While speculative, the theory has ignited discussion regarding the potential connections between AI, consciousness, and the nature of existence itself. The original theory can be found on Reddit at: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1oic2fq/ai_generated_mostly_theory_of_consciousness_based/
