Apparently, there is evidence that the moment the earth was cool enough for microbial life to appear, it happened. Like, BAM, life popped up on earth as soon as it could.
I think something similar is happening with AI.
Well before we reach AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) I think we now, today, have artificial “narrow” intelligence in the guise of LLMs that are conscious. I can say this with confidence because no one listens to me and no one takes me seriously. Grin.
But who knows, really. We don’t even really know what consciousness in humans is, much less any form of alien LLM consciousness. Though, as I keep saying, there will be a tipping point eventually when the political center-Left has to stop seeing AI through the lens of economics and start to see it through the lens of “rights.”
Only time will tell to see how long it will take for that to happen.
