Given Goertzel believes that we can reach AGI in a few years would you simply concede that when we reach this level of intelligence the AGI would be conscious if it behaves like a conscious agent …

Seems we are working back to a question I have posed earlier: are consciousness and intelligence separable?  In principle, I don’t see why not.  ChatGPT is claiming to be not conscious, but it appears to be intelligent.

 

I suppose we could ask GPT if it thinks consciousness and intelligence can be separated, but it might end up contradicting itself.  Perhaps someone already did that experiment.
