Hmm, interesting. I might buy this as evidence of self-awareness. Nothing in that article a few days ago about advanced AI achieving minimal self-awareness was as convincing, imo. What do you think?

Fish are pretty much robots.

Thus is nonsense.

However not all species exhibited this remarkable behavior...

So, are they self-conscious, too?

That would explain why some of them live in the dark.

But do fish know they are in water?

I read the article with interest to see how they measured self awareness under the fish test.

How difficult would it be for a robot, wouldn’t even have to be an A.I., to be able to recognize itself, recognize a mirror and understand it’s function. Visual object recognition should do the job.

Combined that with some self maintenance routines, including cleaning itself. And you got basic self awareness.

My robotic vacuum senses when it’s getting low on power and finds it’s charging station. That is literally a form of self awareness.

My vacuum can’t pass the mirror test because it’s blind. But a blind person is aware. Whatever that means.

So when does a program or an A.I. considered “Aware”. And can you prove the fish is aware, based on how you define that?

sounds fishy...
