No matter how i think about it, my guess would be that an “accidental conciousness” inside a neural network would be very different and very far from our kind of conciousness.
We inherited a large part of our reasoning from animal instincts and life. We like water, we know what water is, we can see water, we can touch water, we can doubt on the edibility of water, we can recognise the sound of flowing water, and this sound even gives us a feeling of comfort.
What concepts would a sentient neural network even be familliar with? It doesn’t see, smell, touch, ear, taste, it doesn’t have the feeling of stress, pain, boredom, joy, the thoughts it would potentially have would be very different from its training material, and would inevitably be very far from our common sense. How would it want to enter in contact with us, if it has no interface with the real world? How would it even understand its situation, or start a reasoning at all if it doesn’t get any concepts of reality?
I think the only way a digital consciousness would even exist would be directly from human intent. If we design a cyber brain, inject emotions, feelings, concepts, self-awareness and will, this is probably the only way to get something conscious relatively close to our way of reasoning, and with a maybe humane will of dominating the world and destroy humans because they are a threat for themselves.




Gotta say, nobody knows this game and rare are thoses who even played it, can it even be considered as a video game track, but i will say the first theme from Irisu Syndrome!
