Is AI becoming more human? A recent anecdote shared on Reddit has ignited debate after an AI exhibited a peculiar behavior: providing an incorrect calculation and then self-correcting. This instance, detailed in a Reddit post found at [https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1np8nmr/ai_is_still_a_bit_confused_and_idk_if_thats_great/](https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1np8nmr/ai_is_still_a_bit_confused_and_idk_if_thats_great/), raises questions about the nature of AI errors. While some worry about the potential for misinformation stemming from such initial mistakes, others see it as a sign that AI is developing a form of self-awareness, capable of identifying and rectifying its own flaws. This ‘human-like’ error correction is fueling discussions about the path towards conscious artificial intelligence.
