Verification History

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 · 3h ago
