I mean, while I disagree with his thoughts on animal consciousness, which have been disproven in clinical settings (mirror-test), AI will obviously, at least not anytime soon, be conscious. We're not even sure how consciousness works, although we are sure that we are not sure consciousness works. Without that knowledge, I posit AI will never become conscious.

Your position is:

We don't know what it is, but AI certainly won't have it?

Does not seem rigorous.

Lol. Lmao even.

Imagine thinking so rigidly. Plenty of things were known of before it was known how exactly they work. My position is:

We know something is causing this, but our understanding of it is currently infantile.
