“The idea that consciousness could develop from AI is based on a misunderstanding. Our consciousness is not an abstract state that occurs on an arbitrary substance, like the relationship between the state of frozenness and the substance of liquid.” your point about physical embodiment being key to consciousness really makes me think about how much we might be missing in our understanding of awareness itself. To borrow Catherine Keller's term, consciousness isn’t a lonely spark but the local flare of an 'intercarnational' self—a fully entangled, co-evolving nexus through which the universe individuates, feels, thinks, and then diffuses again into the wider weave of relations. And, of course, to admit that such intelligence, available to all, is ultimately collective, non-local and interdependent means we must be prepared to change more than just our commonsense understanding of the universe, for the implications are staggering.
