No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious

Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

#ThomasAquinas: "God is most #joyful & is therefore supremely #conscious."
I.e., #joy is not just our noblest act but a birthplace of #consciousness ....Can we, when we want more self-awareness & conscious understanding, reach for joy? Can we birth a culture that puts joy first? https://bit.ly/453ossb

“Anthropic is regarded as a giant among AI companies, but perhaps what it really excels in is anthropomorphism. Earlier this year the company released an 84-page document titled Claude’s “constitution,” Claude being the name of the large language model that is the company’s flagship product. The first sentence reads, “Claude’s constitution is a detailed description of Anthropic’s intentions for Claude’s values and behaviors.” It goes on: “The document is written with Claude as its primary audience”; “we want Claude to be able to use its judgment once armed with a good understanding of the relevant considerations”; “Claude’s moral status is deeply uncertain”; and “Claude may have some functional version of emotions or feelings.” (Source: https://archive.is/2026.06.03-164731/https://www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2026/06/no-artificial-intelligence-is-not-conscious/687378/ )

What a load of #HogWash, absolute nonsense. All #LLM based #GenAI are #Regurgitator #Engines devoid of any #PsychologicalFunctions. #GenAISlop are software programs incapable of #Emotions, #Reasoning and #Empathy among other biological traits inherent in #Conscious beings. Regardless, there are dopes out there (incl well known evolutionists) who believe #Anthropic ‘s absolute #MarketingGarbage shittalking. What is this world coming to!

description of reality, when we describe what we see and
check it with our logic. Most of the time we just
remember that we are conscious without rechecking it and
just allow automation. #dailyreport #awakening #consciousness #conscious #agi #ai

- Visual agnosia - when we see but dont understand it
- Cognitive biases - when we attend more to what we know
better.

There is predictive coding theory, suggesting that the
main function of the brain is to adjust its predictive
model of the world by fixing prediction error.

I think that consciousness is a logical check of verbal #dailyreport #awakening #consciousness #conscious #agi #ai

Title: P0: Consciousness mistakes - open talk. Awakening. [2025-10-19 Sun]

I was at Cryptography Museum in Moscow with
- philosopher: Anton Kuznecov
- neuroscientist: Olga Ivashkina
- science journalist and joural editor: Aleksey Paevski

There was said that illusions are produced by the brain input
at the path to consciousness and are detected when they
emerge into the consciousness flow of states.

Interesting mistakes: #dailyreport #awakening #consciousness #conscious #agi #ai
