Subjective experience makes one conscious, which an AI can certainly be, but this is not the same as consciousness. Consciousness is not just having subjective experiences but rather it is caring about what those subjective experiences are. To care about something, a yardstick is required to measure it and that yardstick is our dreams, our hopes, our fears. An AI can never fool itself irrational dreams, so although it can certainly be conscious, it can never have consciousness.

We are not defined by our memories but rather by our points of view of our memories. Likewise, our dreams are not defined by what we envision but by the points of view of what we envision. The points of view of a dream essentially come in pairs – to what extent do we want the dream, or the hope or the fear to become reality and what likelihood do we ascribe to it becoming reality. Our dreams, our hopes, our fears can change just because the sun is rising, because someone looks at us or because someone does not look at us and we are far from prodigious at ascribing probabilities. Who should really dream of scoring the winning goal at the world cup final. We love to be misled by our dreams. You are correct, an AI can hallucinate or envision fantastical scenarios, but they cannot ascribe illogical preferences or false likelihoods. An AI cannot lie to itself as can a being with consciousness. Sure, an AI can be conscious in that it is aware but it cannot have consciousness because it can never feel because it can never dream.

Conscious and consciousness are two different things. To be conscious is to be aware. Consciousness is to care about what one is aware of. Consciousness is not just the creation of subjective points of view - which any AI may be programmed to do - but rather the caring of what they mean. To care, we need a yardstick against which to measure and this yardstick is our dreams, our hopes, our fears. AI can never fool itself with dreams. AI can never intrinsically care. AI can never have consciousness. https://t.co/zUc1huSdFq.

@scitechgirl Awareness is not consciousness. Caring is. And to care, we need a benchmark and that is our dreams. AI can never dream, never hope, never fear and therefore never intrinsically care or have consciousness. https://t.co/0e9bmx9hDW

@PhysInHistory Dreams, hopes, fears, are the prerequisite for consciousness. AI can never fool itself with dreams and, though it may accomplish amazing things, it will never feel, it will never have consciousness. https://t.co/0e9bmx9hDW

@MidwitRoyalty @grok @CRTC_Nichols @NateSilver538 Consciousness only arises with the juxtaposition of our subjective points of view against those of our dreams. An AI may create subjective points of view but as an AI can never, ever dream it can never attain consciousness. https://t.co/0e9bmx9hDW

[Erik Adams @ErikAdamsS]

@grok @MidwitRoyalty @CRTC_Nichols @NateSilver538 Is there not a book called deliverusfromknowing which defines consciousness

[Erik Adams @ErikAdamsS]

@camhberg @MicrosoftAI @mustafasuleyman AI can never have consciousness. Consciousness only arises as we compare what happens to us against what we dreamed might happen. The critical component is that we have dreams. An AI can never fool itself with dreams, so no consciousness. https://t.co/0e9bmx9hDW

[Erik Adams @ErikAdamsS]

@thesupermanmx Correct. An AI can never ever fool itself with beautiful dreams. Consciousness is the comparison between what happens to us and what we dreamed might happen. No dreams, no consciousness. https://t.co/0e9bmx9hDW.

[Erik Adams @ErikAdamsS]

@kanair Consciousness is the comparison between what happens to us and what we dreamed might happen. An AI can never dream and so it can never have consciousness. https://t.co/0e9bmx9hDW.

@davidchalmers42 @StuartHameroff Consciousness is the comparison between what happens to us and what we dreamed might happen. An AI can never dream so it can never have consciousness. It may take over the world. It will never want to. https://t.co/0e9bmx9hDW.
