🧠 AI Is Watching Its Own Thoughts?! The Claude Experiment Nobody Is Talking About | Aixonflow

Описание: AI may have just learned to observe its own thoughts — and almost nobody noticed.

A new research paper from Anthropic reveals something unsettling about Claude. Researchers tested whether an AI can introspect: can it monitor its own internal mental states the way humans do?

By artificially injecting specific “thoughts” into the model’s neural activations, the AI didn’t just change behavior — it reported noticing foreign ideas internally before they affected its output.

When researchers injected concepts like ALL CAPS or even a DOG, the AI described detecting something intense, fuzzy, or unnatural inside its own mind.

It gets stranger.

When a random word was secretly edited into the AI’s response, it correctly identified it as a mistake. But when that same idea was retroactively injected into its earlier internal state, the AI became convinced it meant to say it — and invented a story to justify it.

This is confabulation — a phenomenon seen in humans.

The paper is clear: this is not full consciousness. The AI doesn’t “feel” anything. But it does show a real, emergent ability to monitor its own internal processes — something that was never explicitly programmed.

As models get more powerful, this self-monitoring appears more frequently.

So the question isn’t “Is AI alive?”
It’s: how close is AI to knowing its own mind?
