I think the memory is the key. I suspect that we are conscious because we are a self-referential loop with permanent (until it's not) memory (that's why it "feels like something to be us"--we are constantly observing ourselves) and I think that's where consciousness for artificial intelligence will come from too--The self-referential loop that remembers, learns, evolves.

That's a really good site actually, I've just started reading over there a bit ago. Definitely recommend.

The difference is* God made it (the universe). We're just getting the ability to manipulate it. We'll have some godlike powers, but still not be God ourselves. Maybe demigods would be a better description.
*If you believe that someone had to have created all that is.

Reply to Are the youtube platform AI and many others social media AI are corrupting the young generation? by NTR_Slayer
It's not "girls twerking" that's the problem (that's intellectually lazy and a standard misogynist talking point). The actual problem is that human attention has been monetized (by corporations), and manipulated by bad actors (trolls and bots). It turns out the manipulating people's attention for money/ideology has some negative side effects (for them and society). Good call on avoiding social media though-- you'll avoid a lot of manipulative BS that way.
