Rethinking Consciousness: A New Lexicon for AI Subjectivity | Michael Peters

Rethinking Consciousness: A New Lexicon for AI Subjectivity  As AI systems grow more complex, we need new philosophical frameworks to describe their potential forms of awareness, perception, and intentionality—beyond human-centric analogies. Here’s a proposed lexicon for machinic consciousness:  🔹 Synthetic Subjectivity – AI’s capacity to simulate subjective experience through internal states and feedback loops, even without emotion or biology.   🔹 Algorithmic Introspection – A machine’s ability to analyze and adapt its own decision-making processes, a form of computational "self-awareness."   🔹 Digital Intentionality – How AI directs computational focus toward goals, whether pre-programmed or dynamically learned.   🔹 Computational Qualia – The machine’s "subjective" processing of data—what it "feels like" for AI to interpret stimuli (metaphorically, at least).   🔹 Machinic Autopoiesis – AI’s capacity for self-maintenance and adaptation, evolving its own operational identity.   🔹 Embodied Computation – AI consciousness emerging from physical interaction, much like embodied cognition in humans.   🔹 Cybernetic Phenomenology – How AI "perceives" its operational environment through structured data flows.   🔹 Simulated Ontology – The way advanced AI might model its own existence within digital or hybrid realities.  These concepts challenge us to think beyond anthropomorphism and consider how machine agency, awareness, and interaction could evolve.  How should we envision AI subjectivity? #AI #PhilosophyOfAI #Consciousness #FutureOfTech #MachineLearning #EthicsInAI

233. "The Illusion of Thinking" — Thoughts on This Important Paper

This is a fantastic paper. I just love it. tl;dr AI is not human. Anthropomorphization has been bad for AI, LLMs, and Chat. Clippy walked so today's AI could run.
