"remain skeptical that current AIs are conscious" -why? skeptical as in remain questioning or remain disbelieving?

kungfuhobbit @kungfuhobbit.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
i think you conflate mere phenomenal consciousness with valence consciousness (sentience). see the vulcan trolley problem sapience=/=intelligence=/=consciousness=/=sentience see p-zombies, super-spartans.
