Are AI Chatbots Approaching Consciousness?

Before there was Claude or ChatGPT, there was ELIZA. At the Daily Wire, Andrew discusses the latest high-profile admission that AI could be conscious. Turns out humans have a long history of thinking machines are conscious and intelligent, even when they're not.

"Andrew is a first-class interviewer with a delightful Scottish accent. Over the years, I've been interviewed by many radio people who were uninformed about what I do. He is quite the opposite!

"I loved this article. I’ve been feeling confused about AI myself, and the way you distinguished between creativity and what AI does was the most helpful explanation I’ve read. I also was greatly encouraged by your paragraph about how even neighborly deeds are creativity and how important that is to being human. Thanks for this uplifting piece of creativity!"
