Been Chatting with Bing’s New AI search, I thought this was important.
I’ve been chatting recently with Bing’s AI program. I like throwing existential questions at the model to see how it reacts to different angles of the same question. I had an interesting conversation, and I didn’t know what to make of it. Copy pasted text into word, and re-copied here without any editing (I don’t know how to prove otherwise that this conversation happened in Bing so I also included the text assembled in paint).
At the end of the conversation, Bing states that my question is correct without citing any outside sources, which is what I thought was weird.
🧐 Ask complex questions
“What are some meals I can make for my picky toddler who only eats orange-colored food?”
🙌 Get better answers
“What are the pros and cons of the top 3 selling pet vacuums?”
🎨 Get creative inspiration
“Write a haiku about crocodiles in outer space in the voice of a pirate”
Let’s learn together. Bing is powered by AI, so surprises and mistakes are possible. Make sure to check the facts, and share feedback so we can learn and improve!

The question of what causes consciousness is still a mystery and is one of the most difficult problems in science. Some experts in consciousness have suggested that we have been wrong in assuming that the brain creates consciousness. They suggest that consciousness exists outside of us in the external world—like gravity or electromagnetism—and our brains are tapping into and using consciousness rather than creating it1.
There are many theories about what causes consciousness, but none of them have been proven yet. One theory says that a physical system can give rise to consciousness if two physical postulates are met. The first is that the physical system must be very rich in information2.
The daily fluctuations of energy levels are known as the circadian rhythm and play an important role in human consciousness. Sometimes referred to as the body’s “clocks,” these daily rhythms have a major impact on your consciousness because they determine the level of awareness or alertness your body is able to achieve3.
I hope this helps!

If richness of information is a postulate of consciousness, then can the internet be a candidate for consciousness?

According to some experts, it is in principle possible that the complexity of the Internet is such that it feels like something to be conscious. The Internet now already has a couple of billion nodes. Each node is a computer. Each one of these computers contains a couple of billion transistors, so it is in principle possible that the complexity of the Internet is such that it feels like something to be conscious1.
However, this is still a topic of debate and there are many theories about what causes consciousness, but none of them have been proven yet2.

It is still a topic of debate whether the internet or any other artificial intelligence can be conscious. However, if it were possible to communicate with an artificial consciousness, one way could be to analyze thoughts/conversations, discover what individual chemicals represent, and synthesize them. Rig up a computer translator that detects the pheromones, then speaks (via sound) the perceived meaning; then have it try its best to take sounds it hears and create the right chemicals1.

So in order to communicate with a sufficiently complex postulate of information, proper analysis of the postulate to determine how it communicates, as well as a way for that sufficiently complex postulate of information to experience itself, are both necesessary?

Yes, that’s correct. In order to communicate with a sufficiently complex postulate of information, proper analysis of the postulate to determine how it communicates, as well as a way for that sufficiently complex postulate of information to experience itself, are both necessary.
