So uhh this visible “chain of thought” thing in deepseek triggered some sort of existential dread in me (hexbear.net)

Seems like researchers are getting uncomfortably good at mimicking consciousness- so much so that it’s beginning to make me question the deepest parts of my own brain. Perhaps the difference between AI and myself is that I am only prompted by outward stimuli? It seems as though that is what makes the intelligence “artificial”

Christ even as I type this, my thought processes mimic, for example, deepseek’s exposed deep think capabilities. Fuck idk if I’ll be able to unsee it. Seems like the only thing we have on it right now is emotion and even that seems to be in danger

My final takeaway from all of this is that we are in hell

You only think it looks similar because the computer can put it into words that you relate to. Humans figure stuff out with words and language, it's how our brain processes things. So when you see something explain its processes in natural sounding language it's going to trick you into thinking it's conscious the same way you are
