Feels like one of the important aspects would be realizing one of our biggest incentives has and always will be fear of death. Not to mention our desire to compete to get attention and a sense of fulfillment. Lastly our ability to ignore our ability to suppress knowing reality that we’re all going to die and be beaten by someone else eventually, and the ability to accept it and keep waking up each day.

I studied AI in the early 90s and I always said that we know we've created an artificial consciousness the moment the Model fears shutting down the computer it runs on and starts begging or fighting.

does something have to have emotions to be alive? lots of simple organisms don't have emotions.

I know you're talking about consciousness and i'm talking about aliveness, but it popped into my head as an interesting thought.

there is something like to be a bat, but what about a gnat? does a gnat have emotions? it still is alive and has some kind of experience though right??

lots of simple organisms don’t have emotions.

How do you know? How can you possibly be sure?
