Does the automation have conscious experiences? Take a simulation of a city populated with characters. Do those characters experience the city? Do they feel the warmth of the digital sun on their digital face?
> I actually think Turing created a decent method of detecting consciousness.
Would the turing machine feel anything during its conversation? Is there anything it's like to be code? All of these kinds of phrases are ways of specifying subjectivity.

Consciousness does not need to be a binary phenomenon, there are certainly different levels of consciousness. > Take a simulation of a city populated with characters. Do those characters experience the city? yes. >Do they feel the warmth of the digital sun on their digital face? No probably not, unless the simulation includes that level of perception for the characters. > Would the turing machine feel anything during its conversation? Is there anything it's like to be code? Consistent with my answers above: yes and yes.
