A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The weirdest problem we're going to have is that AI could get really good at faking consciousness. It could merely be mimicking consciousness based on how it's learned consciousness should look like, but is really just regurgitating information.

So how do we tell the difference between "real" consciousness and mimicry?
