It's frustrating reading discussion about AI, because 90%+ of it is just people without any measurable definition of terms like "consciousness" or "intelligence" or "knowledge" talking past each other.
I actually think "consciousness" is easily definable as soon as you realize the question isn't "Is X conscious?", it's "What is X conscious of?", which in turn means "What is included in the world model of X?".
