Do you have proof that humans are conscious?

It's accepted that we are, by consensus, because of what we experience individually. We know that scientific proof is lacking, although perhaps scientists in the field may disagree, I don't know for sure.

  • I know I'm conscious, but I cannot assume that you are conscious, perhaps you are just a stochastic parrot?

    The only reasonable solution is to assume that anything that passes a true, well executed Turing test is conscious

    • If you know I'm a human being, like you are, then you can safely assume I'm conscious.

      As far as writing messages alone, that could be software.
