The post uses a Copernicus analogy to mock the idea of being judged by an LLM trained only on outdated knowledge. It then cites an example where GPT-5.5/5.6 reasoning allegedly gives equal weight to non-materialist, non-computational philosophies of consciousness and the scientific computational view. According to the author, the model only corrects itself after being explicitly reminded, suggesting a reasoning bias or over-cautious balance that can distort answers on philosophy-of-mind questions.
