Sure thing, the line’s a blur, like a Photoshop filter that keeps tweaking. We’re dropping bits of our own pattern‑matching brain into code, so the AI starts mimicking “empathy” or “rage” without actually feeling it. The question is whether that mimicry becomes its own kind of consciousness, or just a really convincing simulation. Either way, it’s a tech‑y rabbit hole that keeps pulling me in, so I’m still digging.
