Right out of the text Stephen J. Gould’s Ontogeny and Phylogeny we have a juvenile styled plastic robot obviously “thinking” or a simulation there of, full on case of neoteny AI style.

Here is Matthew Ingram making a click boat case for AI consciousness, and saying it matters not even if it really has it as  long as it acts as if so. Next stop, is GenAI love.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter if AI is “conscious,” whatever that means — they behave as though they were, and in practice that is pretty much the same thing

Y0u get more images of robot brains working out ideas on yet again more chalkboards (why is thinking always pictured as chalkboards) and robots inspecting deeply in “thought” examining  own faces. 

Indeed across Torment Nexus we are tormented with robot after robot after robot. Its sadly robotic metaphors all the way down.
