I'll just come back to the language problem, because a subset of consciousness is considered to be self-awareness.
We attribute self-awareness because it looks like people are self-aware.

It was actually, I believe, the first self-chatbot, which we developed with Talk to Books, which came out four years before ChatGDP.
And I believe it was the first at LLM.
It was your first product at Google, I think, right?
Yeah.
Talk to Books.
And now if you create a self part, which I'm doing, for example, with myself, it should be available when my new book comes out.
It's going to be more capable than I am.
