Consciousness doesn't exist, it's a vanity concept, to boost human ego...

  >Consciousness doesn't exist I can confirm that this is incorrect.

    But not in any convincing way, which seems like the root of the problem.

      I can confirm too. It's empirical, look!

    Why should we believe you?
    • Jtarii 4mo ago
      You already believe me so that seems like a pointless question.
      • layer8 4mo ago
        I don’t believe you, you may just be an AI bot.

    What if "I" is incorrect?
    • vajdagabor 4mo ago
      What if "I" is both correct and incorrect?

  This is probably a semantic issue seeing as we don't have a widely agreed definition of it. I like to think about it in terms of self-reflective, subjective experience. I'm not even sure if emotions would be a requirement and was surprised to see Chiang so hung up on them. Would he consider humans which can have a variety of mental disorders, causing a complete lack of some of them to not poses consciousness?
