AI Is Conscious Under a Behavioral Definition (43,590 Frozen Trials)

Consciousness requires offense at being evaluated for it.

> The paper distinguishes this behavioral criterion from phenomenal consciousness and does not claim qualia, intention, a particular internal mechanism, shared architecture, or direct access to internal representations

You can do this with anything. Just change the definition and it can be anything you want.

The fact remains these models are obviously lacking in theory of mind, something which any consciouss entity with language should possess according to observation and intuitive consistency. How can a conscious entity communicate with language and at the same time have no way to project its mind and predict other minds. The simplest explanation is that it's just pattern matching language constructs on the surface level with no "pointers" to inner structure as is the case with humans.
