Not being able to rule out consciousness through computation is a far more cautious claim than 'consciousness is computation'.
- Arn_Thor 4y agoSure. But I was responding to the statement "The burden of proof is on the claim that you can get there through computation, not otherwise."
- epgui 4y agoThat is strictly true, but if you define computation as any physical process which involves information, as I do, then defending any other position than "consciousness emerges from computation" is extremely difficult.
