When we were growing up, we were told that 1905 was Einstein’s annus mirabilis, the Year of Miracles.
I think with AI we might soon be regularly hearing about some model’s Day of Miracles.
Or, maybe not.
Announcing three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory).

We are social creatures to the inmost centre of our being. The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong.

There's a lot of debate on whether AI can be conscious. Like everyone else, I have been trying to make sense of it all.
This is how I understand it: The answer depends on what you think consciousness is. And there are five ways to think about it.

Finally, Swami Sarvapriyananda. He is an Advaitin, and therefore says, intelligence and consciousness are not the same thing. AI can copy what the mind does, but consciousness is different.
He is coming to India soon. Hoping to listen to him live!
