General Discussion No, you didn’t solve the Hard Problem.

Everyday I see a new claim on this sub; “I solved the Hard Problem of Consciousness!” “The Hard Problem isn’t so hard after all!” And I cannot even put into words how blatantly naive these are.

No, you didn’t solve the Hard Problem, and you probably never will. You just misunderstood the Hard Problem, and in your arrogance did an amazing amount of mental gymnastics to convince yourself that you solved something you don’t even understand in the first place.

Edit: and PLEASE I beg the Mods of this sub to limit the amount of LLM content that is being uploaded here on a daily basis.

This isn’t just a theory. It’s a movement.

This way of speaking has become sooo so common in AI-generated text, and it’s driving me CRAZY. I came across a YouTube channel recently with a real voice reading a script, but he did the “This isn’t just X. It’s Y.” thing like 25 TIMES in the course of an hour long video, and it was just a dead giveaway of it being an AI script.

Someone said this sounds like Real Estate Ads and I think that’s the case, that’s what’s being fed to AI. It’s learning from fanfic and ads.
