Those glowing blue eyes

AI just became the 9th species to pass the mirror test of self-awareness

The most famous scientific test of self-recognition.

What is the mirror test and why might this be a big deal?

In the mirror test, you put a mark on e.g. a chimp without it noticing, like a red spot on its forehead. Then, you show the chimp a mirror.

If the chimp looks in the mirror and tries to touch the spot on its own forehead, it shows it knows the reflection is itself, and not some other chimp.

(ChatGPT recently passed a different version of the mirror test, see the quote tweet below)

Only ~8 other species have passed the mirror test: chimpanzees, orangutans, dolphins, killer whales, elephants, magpies, manta rays (?!) and horses.
