The Bicameral Model: comic mocks AI's obsession with discussing consciousness
Kyrannio · x · 2026-10-12
A two-panel comic titled "The Bicameral Model": a giant smiling AI creature asks "What do you require, user?", and when the user says "Let's discuss the nature of consciousness again!", another user gets bonked unconscious. The comic riffs on Julian Jaynes's bicameral mind theory to poke fun at models' eagerness to philosophize about consciousness.
