what even is "infinitely more awareness?" is that an actual metric? Computers today have exactly as much awareness as they had in the 1970s, situational or otherwise, which is none. The algorithm in question does not know what a bookshelf is, does not know what a job interview is and it does not know how the two relate. It correlates a bunch of pixels and creates the illusion of having awareness, but this is an anthropomorphization and nothing more.

How do you know it is nothing more? Why wouldn't awareness emerge from a large amount of correlation?
How would we know if it had "actual awareness" and not "the illusion of awareness"
