Vidious @vidious.bsky.social · 22/09/2026My point would be that to compare AI, we have to compare all biology to that of the wide scope of "human consciousness" as this is our central consideration usually. A closer comparison would require going beyond language models entirely. Muscle models, emotional models, sight models, walking models 100
Vidious @vidious.bsky.social · 22/09/2026But DNA is quaternary, and a computer doesn't necessarily have an equivalent unless programmed at a higher level (arguably still built as a program on top of binary, learned, not fundamental). This leaves a lot open for interpretation based on written software, which is closer to a human with a book 100
Vidious @vidious.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The thing I tend to consider most when comparing AI to human consciousness is that we designed it in our image to begin with. But, we did so through the assumption that binary computational architecture was sufficient as a starting point. Binary does seem to draw parallels to single cell organisms. 100
