So... if the network of computers, switches, routers, etc were to create the kind of complexity of a brain and achieve consciousness, why should we expect that it would be aware of its own 'neurons'? It would transcend the wiring of its own existence, and understand the internet as much as we understand the brain at an uneducated level. It may learn to understand its own existence, but we shouldn't assume it would start there. #showerthoughts #tech #ai
