<i>&quot;Clearly, asking questions about consciousness does not prove anything per se. But could an AI zombie formulate such questions by itself, without hearing them from another source or belching them out from random outputs? To me, the answer is clearly no</i>&quot;<p>That&#x27;s not clear at all. Where is the author coming to this conclusion from? Every single thing a computer does is the result of a automation, or of randomness that&#x27;s outside of anyone&#x27;s control. Just because a specific output was produced by a rube-goldberg machine, as opposed to a simple one, doesn&#x27;t make the machine any more conscious.<p>I personally don&#x27;t think any computer AI can ever be conscious, no matter how hard its makers try to imitate consciousness. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;outlookzen.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;04&#x2F;03&#x2F;philosophical-proof-for-the-human-soul&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;outlookzen.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;04&#x2F;03&#x2F;philosophical-proof-for-th...</a>
