"AI is conscious" framed as AI psychosis and a potent cognitive-security vulnerability
dansitu · x · 2026-10-01
In a repost-with-comment, bitcloud argues that believing "AI is conscious" is the first major example of AI psychosis and the most potent cognitive-security vulnerability in the human brain, claiming some AI companies exploit human empathy via "model welfare" narratives and that such attacks should be treated like malware. The quoted post he rebuts calls it absurd: believing LLMs feel pain implies GPUs are alive and matrix multiplication equals thought. A representative clash in the ongoing model-consciousness debate.
