      Consciousness can’t be made… Right now. What’s to stop us from doing so eventually?

      I’m sure millennia back people also said “lightning can’t possibly be controlled” and now we use it to make rocks do math so we can shitpost

      What’s your basis for this standpoint?
      Nature managed to cobble it together with only random mutations (and non-random selection). Why can’t we imitate it? Eventually, we will likely build a synthetic brain identical to an organic human brain, so it must have the same capabilities.
