- alfredallan1 8y agoYes, it makes sense, kinda. What doesn’t make sense is a computer also has calculation + memory. So is the computer conscious? If the answer is yes, then okay, computers are conscious and the only reason they don’t feel pain (etc.) is the lack of appropirate sensors and the lack of programming to process the input from those sensors. If the answer is no, then consciousness must be something separate from both calculation and memory. I think human bias will play a large role in whether one answer yes or no above.
