I argue human reconstruction reality results from memory and adaptation to uncertain environmental conditions reaffirmation Self-as-symbol. demonstrate pretrained models, such ChatGPT, lack embodied grounding, which compromises their ability adequately model world through due absence subjecthood conscious states event recognition partition. At deep level, challenge notion constitution semiotic Self relies on computational reflection , arguing against reducing representation data structures emphasizing importance positing accurate models language. underscores distinction between transformers posthuman agents humans purposeful agents, emphasizes capacity adjustment optimization. One main conclusions this is integrate information does not amount phenomenal consciousness argued by Information Integration Theory . Moreover, while exhibit superior capacity, they real providing them with multiscalar experience anchored physical world, characteristic cognition. However, anticipates emergence new silico conceptualizers capable defining themselves symbolic contours specific goals.
