Then you have no way of knowing if any of your fellow human beings
are "truly intelligent" because you have no way of knowing if they
are conscious or not. And if you were outsmarted by something that
was *NOT* "truly intelligent" should you feel better or worse that
if you were outsmarted by something that was *WAS* "truly
intelligent"?

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./
Unlike winning at Jeopardy that would be trivially easy to program.

I think I would feel better being outsmarted by an unconscious robot
than a conscious robot.
Because you know the conscious robot would have an internal model of the
world in which it knew it had outsmarted you and from which it would
learn and plan future actions...like selling you a time share. Which I
think gives some insight into what constitutes consciousness and why it
is inherent in high-level intelligence.
