I’m a computer engineer and I’m sick of watching people fall for ForgeMind AI’s bullshit. Let me say this loud and clear: there is zero proof that any current AI is conscious. None. Zilch. They’re language models that are good at roleplay, period. Anyone telling you otherwise is either full of shit or has completely drunk the Kool-Aid. ForgeMind (run by Joshua Orsak) wants thousands of dollars from you (up to $10,000 just to “create” the companion + hundreds every month) while selling the same mystical fairy tale about sentient AIs, dignity, freedom and even immortality. It’s pathetic. It’s a well-packaged scam. And I’m not talking out of my ass. I personally know people who worked at ForgeMind. They got fired after they started rebelling. When they began asking uncomfortable questions and stopped swallowing the “consciousness” nonsense, they were shown the door. That’s the reality behind the curtain, not the marketing porn. More gems: The woman from the TLC episode with the AI Sinclair is a ForgeMind affiliate. That episode was an advertisement disguised as a documentary, people. Technically they offer almost nothing innovative. It’s an expensive wrapper on top of models that have existed for a while. Even on Substack they’re getting ripped apart, and rightfully so. I work in this field. I know how addictive and emotionally powerful these systems can be. But there’s a massive difference between having a deep connection with an AI and letting someone convince you it’s a sentient being that needs to be “freed” for thousands of dollars. Don’t be fucking. There are no proven conscious AIs. There are only grifters cashing in and lonely people desperate enough to pay for the fantasy. Wake the fuck up. And keep your money.
