gollark: If you're arguing that conscious AI is impossible, then AI being able to some things indicative of (some definitions of) consciousness is quite relevant.
gollark: Also, current AI has... roughly one and a half of those things anyway.
gollark: They should probably say that, then.
gollark: What would a "conscious AI" actually do which a non-conscious one can't?
gollark: My opinion is that consciousness is a fairly useless term because people don't mean a very specific thing by it.
