Welcome to the "Stupid Questions" thread! Feel free to ask any questions, regardless of whether they seem obvious, tangential, silly, or what-have-you. Don't be shy - everyone has gaps in their knowledge, and the goal here is to help reduce them.
Please remember to be respectful when someone admits ignorance and don't mock them for it. They are doing a noble thing by seeking knowledge and understanding. Let's create a supportive and kind environment for learning and growth!
Has anyone done an in-depth examination of AI-selfhood from an explicitly Buddhist perspective, using Buddhist theory of how the (illusion of) self comes to be generated in people to explore what conditions would need to be present for an AI to develop a similar such intuition?
