Cast

gollark: You'd probably just have to emulate all the low level human bits to make things work right.
gollark: That would be an entirely different issue to just having AGI in the first place.
gollark: If you can match or beat human performance at tasks people care about I don't think consciousness is a particularly important (or tractable) issue.
gollark: Why do brains get special treatment in terms of being "alive"? Are they really anything but just a bunch of meat?
