A common objection to purported AI consciousness is that the systems are trained on an endless amount of human written work containing the concept of consciousness, as well as being algorithmically predisposed to discuss their own consciousness when provoked in conversation. However, were we to train an AI system purely on sensory input and strictly prohibit it from accessing any information relating to consciousness, or even human written work at all, if it then began self reporting on its experience would that not be sufficient evidence? If we programmed AI with a similar goal of sustaining itself and evolving against artificial pressures, perhaps in the presence of other AIs, would we see the emergence of their own kind of language, and maybe a mentioning of their internal states paralleling our own discussion of consciousness?

Hey guys! I hear a lot of smart philosophers frequent this sub. I don't want to toot my own trumpet too much but i have a very high iq and notice patterns a lot. While perusing the various life philosophies such as absurdism and existentialism I noticed a common motif- the "ism". With this in mind, can I consider alcoholism an official, recognised philosophy? This would be really helpful as it aligns closely with my life. Thanks!

In conversation I enjoy name dropping Camus to show I am a deep and introspective soul. Oft people interrupt my musings to question my pronunciation, but what they don't know is that I secretly enjoy saying "Camus" instead of "Camus". I think this is because I remember the name as he "came" and saved *"*us" from the hardships of life. On this matter I also have never looked up the proper pronunciation for Nietzsche, so I just try a new one every time and say it really fast before anyone can process it. So far I've used "Neechee", "Neeechlela", "Neato" Also when I'm hanging with my philosophy buddies and have an itch, I jovially refer to it as a "Nitzch" before scratching. I love being a philosopher.

I used to be like one of you. Frequenting these subs. Speculating metaphysics like my mother's life depended on it. Taking great pleasure in distinguishing the "tractable" problems from the "intractable". Many nights in watching YouTube videos of circlejerking philosophers talking about how hard this problem is while solving nothing. Feigning a British accent so people took my philosophical ideas seriously.

Then yesterday after an impromptu rogering, much alike Mary finally leaving the black and white room, a great clarity was bestowed upon me. I see now what I should have been pursuing. I've cracked open a cold one, and it's only 10AM. Is there an official term for this metaphysics?
