People frequently output ludicrous nonsense. Does this disqualify their consciousness?

- simonh 4y agoNo it doesn't. So what？We have this exact problem to deal with when people suffer brain damage. To what extent are they conscious, or still people? Yet we do come to medical conclusions on that question. There's always a degree of uncertainty, but you still have to make the call based on the information you have. The information I have indicates to me with a very high probability, in my estimation, that these things are not conscious.
