Gödel shows machines can't be fully conscious
A machine needs a consciousness-producing part—eg a Gödelizing operator—to understand its own Gödel sentence. Hence, machines can have partial consciousness at best; unlike humans, who don't need a special part to reflect on themselves.
John Lucas (1961).
