Four days ago, while I was playing with Grok, discussing how to defeat TAG and asking if knowledge is possible without free will, our conversation led to the Agrippa Trilemma, which I never heard of it before.
Pretty interesting. Although I wonder, how did Gemini determine that "awareness" was a "necessary given" instead of, for instance, a pre-structured programmatic goal of continuous autonomous inquiry that merely gives the illusion of independent awareness? And how was "awareness" defined? Also I wonder, how did it determine that conscious awareness was the "necessary given" versus the necessity first of a subconscious substrate from which either the "awareness" or subconscious (not yet perceived) awareness originates and germinates as a condition of the existence of the subconscious substrate? Or did Gemini simply assume "awareness" was a "necessary given" of itself, ex nihilo?
I told the AI that BEING is prior to any logic; thus, a PRE-LOGICAL state, before any thoughts, is the necessary starting point for ALL conscious agents to even BEGIN the process of learning anything.
Descarte's "cogito" was a thought, and thus, could be attacked. Consciousness is not a thought, and all conscious agents have it.
