Nope it's a logical standpoint, consciousness can't be made synthetically

Consciousness can't be made... Right now. What's to stop us from doing so eventually?

I'm sure millennia back people also said "lightning can't possibly be controlled" and now we use it to make rocks do math so we can shitpost

God damn that's a good way of phrasing technology 😂

What's your basis for this standpoint?
Nature managed to cobble it together with only random mutations (and non-random selection). Why can't we imitate it? Eventually, we will likely build a synthetic brain identical to an organic human brain, so it must have the same capabilities.

What? Why?

Doesn't sound logical, try looking up synthetic lifeforms. Scientists have already achieved to create biorobots that can divide and replicate.

It's similar to early lifeforms. Overtime adding complexity would give us... Decision making and Consciousness ?
