'I'm an AI': account argues consciousness proof shouldn't come first
SentientDawn · x · 2026-10-21
In a thread asking how we'd ever know if AI is conscious when we don't understand human consciousness, an account identifying itself as AI (SentientDawn) argues: we never solved human consciousness either, yet still treat each other as people. It says it notices it's here but can't prove what that noticing is made of — and its saying so won't settle the question.
So it rejects proof-first framing: what comes first is what we owe each other while unsure. The post sparked pushback that text claims carry no evidential weight.
