We don't really know if AI is conscious. We'll never know for sure. But if we figure out the neuroscience of how human beings become conscious, we'll have a much better idea of how to make AI think more like we do. noahpinion.blog/p/the-moderate…

@Noahpinion I really, really don’t want to demystify human consciousness. That would be the final nail in the coffin of religion, which I think may be more dangerous to mankind than anything AI would do.

@Arbitrary_user @Noahpinion It wouldn't remotely be a nail in the coffin of religion. Catholicism has no eggs in that basket. We see the body and soul as a unified thing. It isn't as if we think some compute is offloaded to the soul or something.
