Read part one of this article series here. The following segments are responses to specific categories of counterarguments against my thesis, which you can read in part one of this article HERE.
I agree with his points, but until such a time when we figure out how consciousness arises in biological systems it seems difficult to be sure that creating an artificial consciousness is actually impossible.
Of course such a thing would likely be orders of magnitude more difficult than an AGi and we’re much further away from that than people want to believe. Building an artificial consciousness seems like far future sci-fi to be sure.
That being said, I think it very unlikely such a thing would simply be an algorithm, but there’s more to science and engineering than CS.
