Nah, it's the equivalent of seeing faces in static, or animals in clouds.

Our brains are hardwired to see patterns, even when there are none.

A similar, and related, behavior is seeing intent and intelligence in random phenomenon.

This is clearly not random. If I ask to implement a particular function in Rust using a library I've previously built, and it does that, that's not random.

So it's behaving like our brains. Yet it's not AGI.

Does that mean our brains do not implement General Intelligence?

When I take a dump, I do it exactly like a violin virtuoso does. I am not a violin virtuoso.

Trust me, I'm really not.

Absolutely bonkers analogy. Ironically, I have no doubt that GPT4 could come up with a better one. What does that mean?

Consciousness is a suitcase term. Once all the clothes that define consciousness are neatly arranged and packed into AI then it will be conscious too.
