I’m sorry that you have trouble grasping so many basic concepts.

Ironic of you to reference Dunning-Kruger.

All animals are conscious as far as I’m aware, though the complexity of their thoughts may vary. They all act of their own volition, computers do not and cannot act of their own volition.

You do not have to fully understand every aspect of consciousness in order to recognize that inanimate objects do not have it. “Will” is a component of consciousness, this is commonly understood. Computers are tools, they have no will. Computers calculate, they do not think, these are different operations.

I am not oversimplifying things, you are under-thinking things that are already simple (likely due to cognitive offloading).

    So your response boils down to "no u," and insulting. I believe we are done here.

    If all you got from that explanation was “no u” then you need to work on your reading comprehension.

    I agree that this conversation doesn’t seem to be bearing any fruit tho

    The argument basically: "'computers are not sentient, because I say that they are not sentient"
