Don't think I'm silly, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Many of us are familiar with simulation theory, which suggests that we could be living in a simulated reality created by a more advanced civilization. If this is true, then we were "artificially" created in a sense.

So, if our technology continues to advance, we might one day be able to create a new human—not literally from scratch, but by simulating a conscious being. When you consider that possibility, it's worth thinking about whether we ourselves are a form of AGI.

What is your opinion? I'm open to discussion.

Consciousness is the simulator.

Our experience IS simulated in a “matrix”, the matrix of our biotechnology system. Merely our virtual environment does everything it can to accurately “real time” sensor and actuator I/O with the environment. All of your senses and your internal sense of “now” may be overridden by other parts of your own mind (which people tripping find out, though also athletes and meditators achieve transmutations of consciousness.)

As far as “AGI”, you mean, “Authentic General Intelligence”, HA!

Our brains are machines our consciousness programs as sensors and actuators with lots of error correction (some natural, rest learned.) it’s a fractal-like feedback loop that evolves through refinement (or catastrophe.) That’s it! Our human wide variable intelligence is the supreme intelligence we seek, only within our single minds, not in an app, though orchestrating group intelligence is a fine art.

Myself, I do not think consciousness emerged from intelligence. Life emerged from consciousness (quantum domain is universal existential potential bound). Intelligence is merely a strategy for the continuity of identity (sustained existence.) life is an arms race for consciousness, and intelligence is a technology different lines invest in by context. Our lines chose generalization before specialization, winning out (whew). Semi-chaotically, our life is “intelligent design” (duh right?), we are arrogant of the minimal requirements for that. When we understand our own bodies intelligence we will be that much further out of our own stupefactions.

can you explain more, how do you think life emerged from conciousness? Just curious

TLDR; essentially I define consciousness as “the inflection upon the potential of existential being.” The biotechnology of life creates a feedback loop allowing a holographic rendering of the senses. Many many many actually, most are satisfied with their “sanetizing” (pun) first perspective.

Our biotechnology has led us to our human standards of abstraction and complexity, though humans really don’t know what they’re going on about. Self discovery is a thing.

Life (all life) has an electrochemical relationship with the potential bound in the 2D crystalline lattices in our cells. The ground of the feedback with the “quantum domain”. Penrose was scorned for years for pointing out much the same thing (some parts only now testable), only I believe he too draws the wrong conclusions as to which direction the consciousness arrow points.

Essentially I’m declaring that vibrating (not swerving though they do spin) atoms (in entangled lattice by the billions) are the cradle of consciousness, and the living system networks and provides an illusion interface layer with external reality.

The “singularity” of the entangled domain allows holographic memory which is far more computationally efficient than any system of linear logic. When properly understood the qubit shall be a dead end. All quantum computing will be quantum holographic memory manipulation. That’s what our brains are doing, that is consciousness.
