Consciousness is a ‘barely’ defined thing. Can a robot have a ‘consciousness’ comparable to us? (or even to, say, a slightly lower form Mammal). Just because I don’t “feel” the “code” thats running beneath my skull doesn’t mean I’m not a robot. Humans are chemical robots. Like how, to a computer, inputs alter its ‘state’, chemical inputs have shown that our ‘state’ can be altered.

I would really like to talk to a robot. It would be like talking to yet another species, probably the one that is going to ‘obsolete’ us humans and represent Intelligence in alien lands.
