Consciousness may not have anything to do with AGI. Besides, we haven't as a species defined consciousness in a consistent and coherent way. It may be an illusion or a word game. AGI may end up being more like evolution, a non-conscious self optimizing process. Everyone is talking about AGI but we can't even define what we mean by any of these terms, so to put limits on how near or far away major discoveries might be is pointless.

- antonvs 7y ago> It may be an illusion or a word game. If consciousness is an illusion, what is experiencing the illusion? What makes an experience of consciousness an illusion rather than actual? (Don't quote Dennett in response, I'm curious to see a straightforward reply to this that makes sense.)
