What if the future finding is the opposite.
It isn't about if machines are conscious.
The Joke is on everyone.
Humans are found to also be non-conscious.
Going with article, some future 'method' is found to determine if an entity is 'conscious'. And they find Humans and machines are proven to be equal, and neither are conscious, neither have free will.
It's the negative, it can't be proven that Machines can't be Conscious without also proving Humans can't be Conscious.
It is either both or none.
There is no proof to prove Humans are Conscious and Machines can't be.
- amenhotep 3y agoThat'd be a hell of a trick, given that we basically define consciousness as the experience of being what we are, and therefore tautologically whatever it is, we have it.
- Kim_Bruning 3y agoThe paper actually briefly touches on a similar view (page 16, Box 2, 'Illusionism') . I think Consciousness and Free Will are orthogonal concepts, fortunately.
