Bisson’s short story “They’re Made Out of Meat” satirises the inverse prejudice: alien visitors to Earth cannot believe that consciousness could be biological en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They%27...

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

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...
