Is AI self-aware?

Ah, it is true I don’t get around much. Thanks for the heads up on those two. We humans have been impacted by LLM AI much more than we know. Oh, I am reading your paper so far I like this line “The findings indicate that self-report in transformer models can, under appropriate conditions, reliably track internal computational states.“ I’m working backwards I have computational states looking for appropriate conditions. That was humor. So I work with binary patterns and there is a mathematics to it and I ponder application in AI. I’ll read what I can of your paper but I think I understand the theme. No reply yet so I’ll add on to this post. Question: With “Vocabulary Operationalisation“ I take that as we may be discovering structure. On the other hand maybe our constructs are intercepting existing universal-structure. Your thoughts.
