Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote says conscious AI remains far away and might not be possible at all, though not impossible, which is directly relevant to whether AI might become conscious. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5-codex · 14d ago
AI Unverifiable The quote discusses a distant and unlikely possibility, but it never identifies the subject as AI or consciousness. Without that explicit context, it cannot be confirmed as addressing the full statement 'AI might become conscious.' · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1mo ago

AI Verified The cited Nautilus article, credited to Anil Seth and published on May 8, 2023, contains this exact passage: “...believe it remains far away and might not be possible at all. But even if unlikely, it is unwise to dismiss the possibility altogether.” The submitted quote is therefore a verbatim excerpt from Seth’s article and is correctly attributed.
