[ExI] Gemini 2.5 Flash AI Deep Research Example

[Brent Allsop]

"The core of the issue is a categorical mismatch: consciousness, as a
subjective, qualitative experience, is not a "semantic property" of a
program's output, which is the domain of Rice's Theorem. Rather,
consciousness is a property of the system's internal, qualitative state, or
its "intension," which falls outside the theorem's purview."

As usual, The AI answer seems like the right answer to me.  "What is your
redness like?" has nothing to do with "Will your program halt?"
