Has this person met humans? Why do people suddenly overestimate common human abilities when comparing AI systems? People don’t really understand cognition because neuroscience is still so primitive. We don’t actually know what consciousness is or how much of it is illusory. It’s amazing how many people don’t want to be honest about these fundamental facts about what we don’t know. There’s also the question of identity, which most people mistake for their own fabricated mental fiction. A false identity they pretend is something real to measure against.
