Nothing about current AI models profoundly challenges the unknowns of what makes consciousness work in any mystery-resolving way. People who confuse plainly programmed algorithmic systems like GPT 4 or Midjourney with the still unresolved issues of sentience as we know it so far are drinking far too much of the current batch of AI punch. Sadly, it's a sentiment I see all too often on HN, a site in which i'd assume most readers and commentators would be a bit more skeptical-minded about these things. It's almost funny, considering how much hate this site tends to throw at things like crypto, to see so much of the wide-eyed opposite with the latest AI craze.
