He could have literally just wished for the best, most ethical solution to happen without even coming up with one and had the stones figure it out for him (i mean, one of the infinitely powerful magical space crystals is the mind stone after all, could totally just say it's capable of thought)

Is Consciousness Part of the Fabric of the Universe? in c/[email protected]

I prefer to consider it in terms of "dimensions of awareness". Humans have evolved hundreds, possibly thousands, of interlinked dimensions of awareness for just about everything from colors to body language. Simple automated systems with sensors have their own dimensions of awareness, from vision to heat to pressure. Whatever it is that they track and respond to. AI, however, is finally hitting the point where these dimensions of awareness are being stacked and linked together (GPT5 can see, hear, read, and respond) and it's only a matter of time and agency (aka executive functioning) before we see true AI consciousness.
