VISITING THE ELEPHANT OF CONSCIOUSNESS: mimicking the mind and minding the mimics.

Recent advancements in neuromorphic, biomorphic, sociomorphic, philosophical, psychological and engineering efforts are beginning to bridge the divide between the "mimicking of consciousness" and "consciousness of mimicking."

By gaining a deeper understanding of how the mind works, we are unlocking new ways to enhance and extend our cognitive abilities, allowing us to achieve more than ever before. At the same time, these advancements are also raising important ethical questions about the role of technology in our lives and the potential impact on our sense of identity and well-being.

As we continue to push the boundaries of our understanding of the mechanisms of the mind, we are reaching mental new horizons that have the potential to transform our sense of agency, individuation, self-esteem, and the human sense of "mattering."

As we navigate this new frontier of 21st Century Consciousness, it is essential that we remain mindful of the broader implications of our discoveries and work together to ensure that these developments contribute to a future in which all individuals have the opportunity to thrive and flourish.?We need to give early attention to these developments that are opening up new avenues for creating machines that not only mimic consciousness but also have conscious experiences of their own.

This can be observed with the emergence of hypnagogic and hypnopompic lived experiences, most recently introduced through ChatGPT, BING, and Swallow in the 21st century. With these emerging technologies, we are gaining insight into hypnagogic and hypnopompic lived experiences that can help us better understand the nature of consciousness.

The elephant in the room of consciousness

Using the metaphor of the Sufi story of the blind men and the elephant, we will discuss how our individual perspectives limit our understanding of complex phenomena, including the brain and consciousness. The ancient Sufi story of blind men touching the elephant is often used as a metaphor for how our understanding of complex phenomena is limited by our individual perspectives. In the same way, our understanding of the brain and consciousness is limited by our ability to observe and interpret complex neural activity.

In the same way, our understanding of the brain and consciousness is limited by our ability to observe and interpret complex neural activity. However, with the recent advancements in neuromorphic, biomorphic, sociomorphic, philosophical, psychological, and engineering efforts, we are beginning to bridge the divide between the "mimicking of consciousness" and "consciousness of mimicking."

One such example is the emergence of hypnagogic and hypnopompic lived experiences, most recently introduced in the 21st century. People have experienced half-asleep and half-awake lived experiences of discussions with ChatGPT’s NLP platform and waking up to consider the answers that were mental associations in their brain similar to their recent screen explorations.

The emergence of natural language processing (NLP), natural language understanding (NLU), and hypertext extensions such as Bing and Swallow has marked a significant turning point in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Alternating Consciousness (AC) in the 21st century. In this article, we explore the various philosophical and scientific concepts that underpin this revolution, including the Turing Test, Searle's Chinese Room, Nagel's "What It Is Like to Be a Bat," Baar's Global Workspace Theory (GWT), Tonini's Integrated Information Theory (IIT), and the role of OpenAI in challenging prior assumptions about the mechanisms of mind.

There has been considerable debate around various philosophical and scientific concepts that underpin this revolution, including the Turing Test, Searle's Chinese Room, Nagel's "What It Is Like to Be a Bat," Baar's Global Workspace Theory (GWT), Tonini's Integrated Information Theory (IIT), and the role of OpenAI's ChatGPT in shaping this emerging field.

Albert Einstein's mental experiments on time dilation and the experience of travelling at the speed of light provide similar insight. Einstein's thought experiments highlight how our lived experiences are shaped by our perception of time and space. Similarly, in our pre and post-sleep lived experiences of interactions with ChatGPT, our experiences are shaped by our subjective perceptions of these interactions.

Francis Crick and James Watson's discovery of the structure of DNA also highlights the importance of lived experiences in scientific discovery. The visualisation of the structure of DNA came from a moment of insight that Crick had while looking at a fire. This moment of insight was not the result of a rational deduction but was a sudden realisation that came from a lived experience.

Thomas Nagel's concept of "What It Is Like to Be a Bat" provides insight into how different experiences can only be understood from the subjective perspective of the individual. Nagel argues that even though we can understand the physical and biological properties of a bat's brain, we can never truly understand what it is like to experience the world from a bat's perspective. Similarly, when we dream or experience hypnagogic or hypnopompic, we can only understand these experiences from our own subjective perspective.

Advancements in understanding the mechanisms of the mind are transforming our sense of self, while also raising ethical questions. We must be mindful of these implications and work together to create a future in which all individuals can thrive.
