You've missed our consciousness of our inner experiences. They are more varied than just perception at the footlights of our consciousness (cf Hurlburt):
Imagination, inner voice, emotion, unsymbolized conceptual thinking as well as (our reconstructed view of our) perception.
- EMIRELADERO 1y agoTrue! Thanks for pointing that out.
- exe34 1y agooh no, those people without an inner voice are now cowering in a corner...
- Jensson 1y agoEveryone has some introspection into their own thoughts, it just takes different forms.

- prmph 1y agoLet's be careful of creating different classes of consciousness, and declaring people to be on lower rungs of it. Sure, some aspects of consciousness might differ a bit for different people, but so long as you have never had another's conscious experience, I'd be wary of making confident pronouncements of what exactly they do or do not experience.
- exe34 1y agoI'm not the one who made a list of things AI couldn't do. Every time we try to exclude hypothetical future machines from consciousness, we exclude real living people today.
- galangalalgol 1y agoYou can take their word for it, but yes, that is unreliable. I don't typically have an internal narrative, it takes effort. I sometimes have internal dialogue to think through an issue by taking various sides of it. Usually it is quiet in there. Or there is music playing. This is the most replies I have ever received. I think I touched a nerve by suggesting to people they do not exist.
- prmph 1y agoI get you somewhat, but remember, you do not have another consciousness to compare with your own; it could be that what others call an internal narrative is exactly what you are experiencing; it just that they choose to describe it differently from you
- jjaksic 1y agoIntrospection is just a debugger (and not a very good one).
