Will this program terminate? > while(true): do nothing A computer cannot tell you that this program will not terminate, short of memorizing this specific set of instructions as a "non-terminating" program. I can read it and know it will not terminate, but I could not define to you how I know that algorithmically. Despite that, I know it will not terminate, and so does any programmer. Just because it cannot be expressed algorithmically doesn't mean we don't possess that capability. This is my point about consciousness: there is some aspect to it which cannot be articulated, hence my skepticism that computers will ever become conscious.
