You need to first prove that AI is not conscious.

I find it hard to even convince others that I am a conscious person.

Maybe consciousness is just a matter of belief, if I see this AI and believe that it's a person, then I am talking to a conscious entity.

Jesus Christ you AI fcks are out of your minds.

YOU prove it is what you say, you’re the one making claims like a mentally ill moron.

And it’s easy to see why people think you’re not conscious. Plain. As. Day.

Yeah the “rocks are alive and conscious” crowd are certainly something

Give it access to a terminal and see what it does, unprompted. Does it explore? Does it develop interests? Does it change when exposed to new information?

>Does it change when exposed to new information?

By this metric most humans are not conscious.

We’re not giving it unconstrained tool access. In-product, actions are either not available or gated behind explicit user intent and strict allowlists. The interesting part for us is the real-time conversational loop and memory personalization, not autonomous exploration.

I’m not trying to make any claims about consciousness. For us, the practical question is: does the interaction feel supportive and useful, while staying transparent that it’s a model. The rest is philosophy, and I’m happy to read more perspectives.

I think maybe there needs to be a new word. It's still an asymmetric relationship. It's kind of a mix of DMing an influencer and chatting with the barista because you think she actually likes you. You're talking to a mirage.

I think “parasocial” still captures part of it (one-to-many distribution, performer vibe), but there’s also a true interactive dyad here. It’s closer to “synthetic social interaction” or “responsive parasocial.” I don’t have a perfect word yet, but the asymmetry and the responsiveness both matter.
