The journal wanted to charge £2400 to make this 2-page piece open access 🤨. I declined, but there's a read-only version with this link rdcu.be/epvJy

Quite right! Biscoff is clearly a coffee accompaniment.

Something along this lines is probably true. But the difficult part is the transition from modelling to experiencing? Why couldn't the (very useful) modelling of your environment happen without you experiencing the environment?

Yeah, that's a very important question. The former seems more likely but the latter is a live possibility.

No, the argument in the paper is that it doesn't extend

Thanks. The paper argues that we should be agnostic about artificial consciousness but not about other kinds of consciousness. Probabilistic evidence of consciousness
is fine, but is still hard to come by with advanced AI.

4. The dominant trend in the literature has been to take the first option while purporting to follow the scientific evidence. I argue that if we truly follow the evidence, we must take the second option and adopt agnosticism.

3. AI thus presents consciousness researchers with a dilemma: either reach a verdict on artificial consciousness but violate Evidentialism; or respect Evidentialism but offer no verdict on the prospects of artificial consciousness.

I argue such evidence is hard to come by and that the only justifiable stance on the prospects of artificial consciousness is agnosticism. In the current debate, the main division is between biological views that are sceptical of artificial consciousness and functional views sympathetic to it.

Abstract: 1 Could an AI have conscious experiences? Any answer to this question should conform to Evidentialism – that is, it should be based not on intuition, dogma or speculation but on solid scientific evidence.
