>>12795699Everything your brain does is an approximation of reality.
You'll never know what true reality is like. You always have to rely on your senses. But because we approximate, we get a comparatively clear view of it.
Your consciousness is your brains best guess at what you are. It feels like magic because it's so much more different than the other things happening.
In this regard, anything with a brain that is capable of recognizing it's own self in some way develops consciousness, although maybe in a much more clouded state.
Interesting: if this is true, than our super AI will feel even more conscious than we have ever been!
