I fully agree that fluent language invites anthropomorphism in current LLMs. But as broader functionality develops – whether in silico or any other medium – denying consciousness may be harder to defend

In contrast, the science of consciousness advances by contrasting conscious and unconscious processing, implicating various functions. Whether these require biological detail is an empirical question, not one to settle in advance www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My main concern here is that what counts as “intelligence” is radically broad, covering “…doing, or performing functions” Any capacity measurable by cog sci is thereby written off, however closely it instantiates properties associated with human consciousness AI consciousness is ruled out by fiat

I'm recruiting PhD students this cycle! We study how the brain perceives, remembers, and predicts naturalistic experiences like movies and games, using computational tools to analyze behavioral and neural data 🧠 App deadline is 12/2/26 - see our lab pubs on our website www.dpmlab.org/pubs.html
