Do you agree that there is no test to distinguish a

establish whether zombies exist?
Disagree.
What test would you use?
A sophisticated assessment of the mechanisms inside the cognitive system.
Would a program be conscious if it passes the Turing
test? If not, what else is required?
No.
An understanding of what consciousness actually is, for
starters.
It is a belief.
No it is not.
And that statement ("It is a belief") is a cop-out theory.
