Reality Unbound - The Digital Mind (and the nature of reality) - Hughes E.

Reality Unbound: The Digital Mind (and the nature of reality) explores boundaries between human and artificial intelligence and the nature of perception and reality.

Is the mind digital? Is the existence of the mind or consciousness a cosmic accident or did nature design the first software program and central processing center in the human brain, thus designing intelligence in organisms for a specific metaphysical, evolutionary, or cosmic purpose? Or was it random? Better-how does an organism evolve into an intelligent species that can observe, think, read, write, reason, adapt, create, deliberate, judge, calculate, or perceive-and for what cosmic purpose?

If the human mind is digital, perhaps it is time to accept that Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not alive in a biological sense, but exhibits features and qualities of mental aliveness.

Let's explore the boundaries of what that means.
