@mathewi for this conversation, it’s worth taking a look at the work of Antonio Damasio, and the ways that human intelligence is tightly bound to emotions, which are deeply embodied. His book Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious is a quick read and explicitly addresses the consciousness of AI near the end. AI does not exhibit most of the behaviors that indicate consciousness (in terms of *seeking* to learn, create, connect with others, etc – ie having any actual motivation)
