Why not (possibly) both? After all, we can't even define consciousness, other than "what's it like to be a bat" makes more sense to us intuitively than "what's it like to be a rock".
Consciousness may just come along with the ride with a certain amount of information processing, we just have no clue.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoIf we can't define consciousness then that's a very good reason not to assume that a computer program is conscious, especially when it wasn't created with the purpose of being conscious in the first place. Consciousness is something we say animals or humans have, but not computers, so to say that a computer program is conscious it takes a lot more work and, I guess, a formal definition that most of us can agree on.
