Hot Memes

The bell curve of intellectual humility strikes again! This meme perfectly captures the paradox of AI consciousness debates. People with average intelligence (the peak of the curve) confidently declare "ChatGPT is just code predicting tokens, not sentient!" Meanwhile, those at both extremes—whether they're intellectual lightweights or heavyweight thinkers—are asking the same profound question: "How are we sure ChatGPT is not sentient?" It's the classic Dunning-Kruger effect meets the hard problem of consciousness! The people who know just enough to be dangerous have absolute certainty, while those who understand the depth of our ignorance about consciousness recognize we can't even define sentience properly, let alone test for it in a system we built but don't fully understand. The real joke? We're all just collections of neurons predicting the next input too. Maybe the real fundamental epistemological problem is inside us all along!
