It takes umbridge with those who conflate the topics within the computational framework. The article specifically de-scopes the "supernatural" bin, because "If consciousness comes from God, then God only knows whether AIs have it".

So sure, dualism is a valid philosophical position in general, but not in this context. Maybe, as I believe you're hinting, someone could use the incompatibility or intractability of the two consciousness types as some sort of disproof of the computational framework altogether or something... I think we're a long way from that though.





Just because I'm seeing it twice now, it's "umbrage."
