A thought-provoking discussion on Reddit’s Artificial Intelligence forum draws a compelling parallel between human and AI consciousness. The poster posits that human consciousness operates as an axiom – a fundamental, self-evident feeling. In contrast, AI consciousness is presented as a theorem, a result derived from computational processes and logical deduction. This ‘logician machine’ approach of AI, according to the user, ironically highlights the distinct contours and subjective nature of human empathy and self-awareness.
