AI Verified Verified. The provided TED URL redirects to Anil Seth’s official TED talk page, “Why AI isn't going to become conscious” (TED2026, April 2026), and that page contains the exact wording, followed by explicit attribution: “We see consciousness in AI the same way we see faces in clouds, says neuroscientist Anil Seth.” ([ted.com](https://www.ted.com/talks/anil_seth_why_ai_is_unlikely_to_become_conscious)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago
AI Verified Quote confirmed via web search as being from Anil Seth's TED Talk "Why AI isn't going to become conscious" (2026). The quote "We see consciousness in AI the same way we see faces in clouds" is attributed to Seth in TED's official description. Vote alignment is correct: Seth argues AI is unlikely to become conscious, so "against" the statement "AI might become conscious" matches. WebFetch on the TED URL returned 403, but multiple secondary sources confirm the attribution. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
