Everything that computes is probably "just computer processing". I wouldn't be shocked if enough translates that it's not totally useless

  Humans have consciousness, which seems like something else related to the physics of our universe. The article hints at AGI having consciousness, but I can't see how that kind of argument can be made.

    Ok, assuming consciousness is both reliant on physics we don't understand, and that physics selectively avoids so blessing any machine, you're correct. Is there evidence to support either of those things? Absolutely not.

      Why is consciousness in humans limited to our brains? We've never seen non-living material exhibit the characteristics of life in nature. The computers and robots we build are carrying out instructions in a very mechanical way, however impressive they are.

        Aren’t our brains just carrying out instructions in a very impressive way? I think the jury is still out on whether or not we actually have any control over our thoughts.

          I was referring to the consciousness. What it means to experience reality with awareness.
