Redditor proposes 'Turing test 3.0': consciousness as a non-binary ruler defined by self-similarity
Fyuujini · reddit · 2026-10-26
Arguing the Turing test is inherently flawed, a Redditor proposes defining consciousness by self-similarity: whatever you believe is conscious is conscious. Under this view consciousness is a non-binary ruler — humans occupy an infinitely small section, and things far to the left (a leaf) or right (a far smarter system) can look equally 'unconscious' to us. Conclusion: intelligence can never measure consciousness.
