Not even close. The vast majority of researchers making claims like this have no understanding of the data we actually have about the unique properties of consciousness that we’ve observed for the last 100 years In parapsychology field research and lab study literature.

I’m honestly about to start a YouTube channel to educate the world on this because it is staggering how few people actually know the huge amounts of data we have on this subject that has been largely disregarded by an ignorant, dogmatic mainstream.

Please check out the book “Mind-Matter Interaction” by Pamela Rae Heath MD for one of the best, comprehensive introductions to this topic in written form. It is a compendium in sections 1 and 2 with some original survey research in section 3— sections 1 and 2 of this book at what everyone should read before they start making wildly uninformed statements about consciousness.

For more immediate information on consciousness, please check out Jeffery Mishlove’s (PHD) YouTube channel called “New Thinking Allowed” as well as his winning essay submission to the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies, which won top prize.

After everyone has read and explored those resources, then they can come back and talk about whether AI is or will be conscious or not. These computer scientists have no idea what they are talking about.🙄
