Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

    one might say that AI is not conscious because it’s not a living being, therefore it lacks the experiences that living beings go through

      that’s a rather narrow definition of consciousness

        well, considering how many living beings there are, i would not call it “narrow”

        also it aligns well with other definitions of “consciousness”, such as ensuring the wellbeing of your community, because after all, that’s what remains of an individual after the individual is gone.

          You’re making a category mistake here confusing quantity with quality.
