Anil Seth announces the publication of his "Conscious AI and Biological Naturalism" collection in BBS, featuring his main thesis and 50 scholarly commentaries. Seth remains highly skeptical that silicon digital systems can be conscious, while noting how much he learned from the debate. The reposter agrees: intelligence and consciousness are distinct, and AI is very unlikely to ever be conscious no matter how intelligent it gets.
