This argument applies equally well to any foreign consciousness, and is thus
merely a version of the other minds problem. I dont think that machines and
the prospects of AI bring us anything terribly new, and therefor I dont think
it is an argument against machine consciousness any more that to any other
kind of foreign consciousness.
I wont deny that the other minds problem is terribly mysterious
