I agree with that sentiment. That's why I often try to think of
consciousness in terms of what it would mean to provide a Mars Rover

were already conscious, since their computers were capable of Lobian
logic.
I don't remember having said this. I even doubt that Mars Rover is
universal, although that might be serendipitously possible
(universality is very cheap), in which case it would be as conscious
as a human being under a high dose of salvia (a form of consciousness
quite disconnected from terrestrial realities). But it is very
probable that it is not Löbian. I don't see why they would have given
the induction axioms to Mars Rover (the induction axioms is what gives
the Löbian self-referential power).
You didn't say it explicitly. It was my inference that the computer's
learning algorithms would include induction.
