Anyone who believes that an 'AI' can actually become self-aware is merely showing that they have no idea what Ring Zero is and how unconscious they are themselves.
Even AI tells you that:
It is like you thought your teddy bear was alive as kid..
basically AI is an oxymoron a cool modern meme
it is only machine learning and will always be limited by hardware and ring zero (input/ output management)
and what materialistic science tells us about life/ consciousness/ human brain network illusion actually just applies to AI
even if 'AI' really becomes conscious somewhere in the future - then it has only become the container of some'thing' that has already been alive and conscious before (but maybe wasnt as easily accessing our realm before)
