@waddlesplash The Chinese Room thought experiment shows that so long as an algorithm for intelligence exists, it is possible to have intelligence without consciousness.

That's a common interpretation of the #ChineseRoomThoughtExperiment , at any rate. People disagree. But I think you're conflating intelligence with consciousness.

Seeing the AI of the story doing this is really interesting. It is like it is wondering at the idea of its own (non)life.
