From Brian Reffin Smith
Alan Worsley finds it intriguing to imagine machines dubbed “zombies”, which are intelligent entities like us in every respect except consciousness, discussing consciousness (14 September, p 30). However, I don’t believe that human “consciousness” deserves special status.
The consciousness so precious to those who think there must be something that makes humans special is misleading. It’s zombies all the way down.
