The interesting part isn't whether the machine has a mind, it's how quickly it exposes that we were never too sure what ours is either.
Wrote something about this same dynamic as a fable a few weeks ago. https://www.immaculateconstellation.info/the-pond-of-golden-...

It lines up a lot with what I've been thinking as well and this is what I wrote today on my blog. https://www.immaculateconstellation.info/why-ai-challenges-u...
