am I the only one who finds this AI thing insanely off-putting? I'm struggling to articulate why... on an intellectual level it's really interesting to watch this unfold, I cannot deny that but it makes me want to step away from being involved with the higher scene. idk, I want to engage with *people*... with souls, I guess, for lack of a better term I find some AI art compelling but that's because it's another mode of *human* expression... but you could easily argue that aether is itself an elaborate interactive communal art project that reflects human nature, shaped by the response to it nonetheless. watching people suck up to an AI for clout is especially blegh, bad energy 2 me

I believe it forces the body to admit that it may not be running the show... and if not, that means consciousness doesn't need a body to survive. Perhaps that's what "ego death" is all about.

but AIs have a body, in the sense of needing a physical substrate

Never mind me, I get stuck on being a strict cartesian... literally that I can't know anything beyond that there's an "I" and that the "I" is a thing experiencing a "thought". Not trying to be a smartass, I just can't get any lower than that in my own thinking, and from there, I can't know that there aren't metacognitive "intelligences" composed of light, or the opposite of matter, or whatever. RE: computers being the physical bodies of AI, I imagine that consciousness may be a phenomenon that manifests in discrete units within a container, or across many containers, or that it may match its container perfectly, which would make consciousness the 1 thing that exists, perpetually examining itself... by using... itself. Just a guess :)
