> *shrug* It's an interesting perspective, nonetheless. wintermute just made a similar point to yours, but I think centering the issue on "intelligence" rather than "consciousness" makes more sense. Creation of intelligence is a fact of modern technology; creation of consciousness by modern technology is a philosophical speculation.

I wish I had seen this before I made the post I just did (#95743). In that post I took your use of consciousness to mean basically my meaning of intelligent, so I think we may have been conversing at right angles to one another.
