Awareness? But awareness is just another word for consciousness,
so when you say "/It's that experience (not just information) that
needs processing to produc/*/e consciousness/"*you're saying that
to produce consciousness you must process consciousness. I don't
find that very helpful.

Then Watson't intelligence isn't very pseudo.

I agree with those scientists who that say something isn't truly
intelligent unless it is also conscious.
For something to be fully conscious, or self aware, it would want to
"live". It would not want to be "shut down". When Watson starts
screaming, "Don't turn me off!", then it might be conscious.
Why would being conscious entail not wanting to be turned off? Don't you
go to sleep at night?
Out fundamental drives have been shaped by evolution, not by
technology. When Watson says, "I want a woman." that will be the time
to worry.
