Are you saying
A) that a conscious, human-level AI **can** be implemented on an
ordinary Turing machine, hooked up to a robot body

B) A is false

Yeah that about does it.
Specifically: It will never produce an original scientific act on the
a-priori unknown. It is the "unknown" bit which is important. You can't
deliver a 'model' of the unknown that delivers all of the aspects of the
unknown without knowing it all already!....catch 22...you have to be
exposed /directly/ to all the actual novelty in the natural world, not
the novelty recognised by a model of what novelty is. Consciousness
(P-consciousness and specifically and importantly visual
P-consciousness) is the mechanism by which novelty in the actual DISTANT
natural world is made apparent to the agent. Symbolic grounding in
Qualia NOT I/O. You do not get that information through your retina
data. You get it from occipital visual P-consciousness. The Turing
machine abstracts the mechanism of access to the distal natural world
....and hence has to be informed by a model, which you don't have...
Because scientific behaviour is just a (formal, very testable)
refinement of everyday intelligent behaviour, everyday intelligent
behaviour of the kind humans have - goes down the drain with it.
With the TM precluded from producing a scientist, it is precluded as a
mechanism for AGI.
I like scientific behaviour. A great clarifier.
