Bantering zombies can't think

Bantering zombies, using processing mechanisms far superior to those of the all possible conversations machine would still be unintelligent. No matter how much we enrich the machine's information processing, it can't think unless it's conscious.


Charles Karelis, 1986.

Supported by the "Consciousness is Essential to Thinking" Box 50.
