A criticism to the whole idea.
We actually do not have a definition of observer. We don't know what
structure is needed for consciousness and even what phenomenon is the basic
cause of a mental entity.
In such an atmosphere one can oppose in the same (somehow in-scientific)
way; for example I
I haven't seen the video yet, but I guess what you said are the words of
mysterians.
They believe that we can not solve some problems at all (mainly the
mind-body problem), as if it's like teaching quantum physics to monkeys.
You'd not accomplish that, because they're incapable of understanding

explanation... This illusion ask question about herself I can hear my
thought, saying the're not real will not make them disappear.

Various projects exist today aiming at building a true Artificial
Intelligence. Sometimes these researchers use the term AGI, Artificial
General Intelligence, to distinguish their projects from mainstream AI
which tends to focus on specific tasks. A conference on such projects
will be held next

I'd like to add a definition of consciousness.
Consciousness is the inner narative composed of sounds/images/feelings which
