I'm half way through this article. The word 'introspection' might be better replaced with 'prior internal state'. However, it's made me think about the qualities that human introspection might have; it seems ours might be more grounded in lived experience (thus autobiographical memory is activated), identity, and so on. We might need to wait for embodied AIs before these become a component of AI 'introspection'. Also: this reminds me of Penfield's work back in the day, where live human brains were electrically stimulated to produce intense reliving/recollection experiences.

Regardless of some unknown quantum consciousness mechanism biological brains might have, one thing they do that current AIs don't is continuous retraining. Not sure how much of a leap it is but it feels like a lot.
