Out of my own error, I never published this post. However, my intention for the final project was to create an essay that highlighted AI’s ability to attain accountability through their different responsibilities. However, I changed my mind and ended up creating an essay about the potential of consciousness in AI, comparing and contrasting LLM systems with those of humans and animals. I chose to write an essay because I have a lot to say about topics that I’m interested in and unfortunately, I am not that artistically gifted. In addition to this, I found that the most objections appeared when speaking of AI consciousness than any other subject and because of that fact, the objections needed to be explored deeply. I planned to incorporate just Brainard but ended up including a bit by Chalmers and completed an AI experiment on PlayLab as well.
