Can a machine be conscious?
Position2 of 2

No, a machine can't be conscious

Consciousness is an organic, biological function of the brain that can't be replicated by machines. Brains and computers do not work in the same way; computers take in information from their environment passively and stores it in blocks, while brains actively take in information from the environment and process it with complex neural connections. A machine can't replicate these neural connections, so a machine can't be conscious.
