As a journalist who covers AI, I hear from countless people who seem utterly convinced that ChatGPT, Claude, or some other chatbot has achieved “sentience.” Or “consciousness.” Or—my personal favorite—“a mind of its own.” The Turing test was aced a while back, yes, but unlike rote intelligence, these things are not so easily pinned down. Large language models will claim to think for themselves, even describe inner torments or profess undying loves, but such statements don’t imply interiority.Could they ever? Many of the actual builders of AI don’t speak in these terms. They’re too busy chasing the performance benchmark known…

The smartphone will likely be sold through iQOO’s Indian website and Amazon.in in India, but its pricing and sale date are yet to be officially revealed. The Indian model of last year’s iQOO 13 came with a smaller battery (6,000 mAh vs. 6,150 mAh), and it’s unclear if there will be any differences in specs between the iQOO 15’s Indian and global/Chinese versions.
