You are randomly extrapolating. I think this is called "strawman logical error". Things are not random. There are reasons for why consciousness only exercises its powers in certain conditions. Evolution confined those powers to own body alone, though in some cases indeed you get connections

Exactly. Those experiments are not valid. The "brain" does not exist. But I exist. I think you are making a category confusion. You equate by default brain with consciousness, and because brain doesn't exist, you conclude that consciousness doesn't exist. You are loosing yourself in abstract

I don't see why it would matter. If you obtain consciousness, that consciousness will have free will, so will take over the whatever subcomponents that you might use, so those subcomponents will stop obeying the "physical laws" that we know from simple systems. On Wednesday, 24 April 2019

This is not the reason why AI is not conscious. The reason is that AI doesn't even exist, is just an idea in consciousness. Consciousness which of course is not made out of atoms. We are not made out of atoms. "Atoms" are just ideas in consciousness. On Wednesday, 24 April 2019 15:5

swer is the way atoms are arranged, and it doesn't make any difference if the atoms are of carbon or silicon if the process is the same. Saying an AI can't be conscious because its brain is dry and hard and not wet and squishy is as silly as saying another human can't be conscious if his skin colo
