I mean, I've seen some videos of AI-powered chatbots responding to emotional stimuli with what see...
We can't prove or disprove with certainty, but we can look for signs of self-awareness and autonomous decision-making that suggest sentience. For example, if a digital mind can modify its own code or make choices that aren't predetermined by its programming, it may indicate a level of consciousness. Additionally, if a ...
Q: Gaffer, I've been readin' about this Digital Asymptotes lark, and I'm a bit confused.
