I'm still awaiting a widely accepted method of actually *measuring* "consciousness." It's a conveniently nebulous property.
And simply defining it as something computers can't do is even more convenient.

That doesn’t change the fact that I am conscious. Also, I never said computers can’t be conscious. I said that **digital** computers (Turing machines) probably can’t. Quantum and analog computers have no such theoretical constraints and they’re far, far more prevalent given that they’re found in every living creature.
