The author seems to assume that human consciousness needs more than computation. Certainly a valid point of view, but what is the evidence? If you're not even touching upon the question what consciousness actually is, how can you say a machine can't ever be conscious? I can't even be sure that other humans other than me are conscious (the p-zombie idea), how can we sure about machines? Ironically I think the narcistic idea here is that only complex organic entities (in particular humans) can ever be conscious.
