Ask HN: Recommend philosophy around consciousness and AI

With 2022 being a huge year for AI via ChatGPT and various diffusion models producing astounding results, I’d like to read thoughtful takes on whether these things are alive in a classical or contrived sense.

Could be philosophers from a world before this technology was a twinkle in the world’s eye up to modern day blogs from folks immersed in this culture. Anything from academic, to fiction, to amateur would be much appreciated.
