The Mystery of Decision-making

I had recently such an exciting and spine-chilling conversation with Chat GPT that it might also interest others. We had been discussing consciousness and the study of consciousness for a while. The discussion was related to a book I recently read by Anil Seth, "Being You: The New Science of Consciousness."  The Integrated Information Theory (IIT) was one of the key topics in the book. Since the theory is crucial as a background for our discussion, I will super briefly introduce it.    IIT defines  consciousness  as arising when a system like the human brain can integrate information. As a result, something emerges that is more than the sum of its parts. Additionally, consciousness is considered an internal system property and cannot be observed outside. The entire theory is based on the idea that if we can fully map and understand how the parts of a system causally affect each other, we can also understand how consciousness arises and what the experience of consciousness is.
