I don't know what you're even arguing. Your analogy breaks down because in this case, we can't even see if the raven is black or not. No one can theoretically prove consciousness. The rest of your comments seems to be arguing that current AI has no consciousness, which is exactly what I said, so I guess this is just an attempt at supporting my point?

Okay fair enough, first bit made sense to me at the time but I was having a weird day. There are things you can't prove was the point of that, doesn't make a lot of sense rereading it.

Rest of it is saying that there is no debate worth having: they are not conscious, nor sentient, and trying to quantify what exactly they are. I'm just talking into the void and arguing against opinions ive seen. Dont mind me. I get passionate and am prone to long-winded rants.
