    Consciousness comes from the soul, and souls are given to us by the gods. That’s why AI isn’t conscious.

      How do you think god comes into the equation? What do you think about split brain syndrome in which people demonstrate having multiple consciousnesses? If consciousness is based on a metaphysical property why can it be altered with chemicals and drugs? What do you think happens during a lobotomy?

      I get that evidence based thinking is generally not compatible with religious postulates, but just throwing up your hands and saying consciousness comes from the gods is an incredibly weak position to hold.

        I respect the people who say machines have consciousness, because at least they’re consistent. But you’re just like me, and won’t admit it.
