Article The horrible truth about consciousness (book review of the novel "Blindsight")

[C C]

Actually a "sort of" book review of Blindsight, the 2006 novel by Peter Watts.

Essentially, what if a creepy, space traveling alien species was the equivalent of ChatGPT? Appears to be intelligent and conscious, but doesn't really understand and perceive anything in a phenomenal manner: a Chinese Room.

Deep and interesting themes in this book. Will have to opt for an audiobook version due to my tiny little attention span.
