References on generative AI are pouring in. There are about three communities I'm lurking in, and each one drops 300+ notifications a day. So usually I catch up every other day, organize, sign up, and run tests. Today again, I was testing ChatGPT and organizing review notes in Notion, when...

By chance, a video uploaded to YouTube four years ago, along with a related post, caught my eye and stirred a strange feeling? a range of thoughts, so I jot a few words down.
Detroit: Become Human(TM) Chloe Interview
Will AI ever be conscious?
Human consciousness really is a mysterious thing. Cognitive neuroscience can tell us a lot about what's going on in your mind as you read this article - how you perceive the words on the page, how you understand the meaning of the sentences and how you e

Watching the video from what seems to be four years ago (a PlayStation game) and the post above (or short preview), the thought that comes to mind is - just how much do humans, or rather, how much do I really know about consciousness or the soul? Are these not simply memories I have learned, vaguely and habitually, as if they were obvious? That is the thought that crosses my mind.
In the video, Chloe says of herself that she has no `a soul`.
Right. It's just a game promo.
But - if it were a program, "laggy" might be the precise word for it; my emotion? consciousness? thought? perception? no, I cannot explain it... I had no choice but to freeze for a moment - did.
Chloe in the video says she has none of it as if it were the most obvious thing, and right up until the unexpectedly cheerful PlayStation brand logo sound played at the very end of the video, something about it was shocking.
Honestly, I cannot explain it. That's right. It's just a one-sided assertion.
As long as life clings on, the consciousness or soul that we, as humans, one-sidedly insist exists and that is openly acknowledged - I cannot explain it. In fact, even at this very moment, I do not know how to sense or perceive consciousness. It's just like breathing without being aware of it - simply taken for granted.
And yet I so casually say that I am a human being with consciousness and a soul.
Truly, am I a human? And if I am, what kind of human am I? What is clear is that I have lived too easy a life. Or rather, that from now on, living a properly human life is going to be even more demanding.
Sometimes we point fingers at the immoral and say, "My, what a man, worse than a beast." But experiencing ChatGPT recently, even just the free 3.0 version, I find myself thinking about a lot of things. "My, what a man, even worse than an AI" - what should I prepare so as not to become that? What should I be agonizing over, what should I be asking?
Sometimes we learn how to walk, how to sit, how to speak, or how to breathe far too late. And I, too, while chasing down all sorts of things to learn late in the game, have just added one more thing to learn.
Can I be aware of my own consciousness, or how consciously am I living my life?
Can the difference between humans and artificial intelligence (alias) really be summed up as consciousness or soul?
