:[Describe panel here]
:Robot, are humans conscious?
:Imagine there's a man. He has a book that translates all possible phrases from english to chinese.
:Are you familiar with robot john searle's chinese room argument?
:In order to do that and not be infinite in size, the "book" must in fact have the ability to receive input, consider possible outputs based on knowledge and
:Context, and make a choice of expression.
:It's clear the book is conscious by any definition, but the human is just an operator of the book with no sense of what the symbols mean.
:It turns out that this is what humans are like with reference to almost every subject - not just chinese
:Language, but most languages, mathematics, history, and in general the nature of reality.
:Sure, they can operate in the universe, but they have no meaningful internal model of it.
:Therefore we conclude that although a human does things, it's clear they are not in any sense conscious.
:Ah.
:Wait, so I have no moral responsibility for my actions?
:Yes, but you are too timid to make use of that freedom.
:Stupid truth-tellling robot.
