Welcome on hackernews, where thousands years old philosophical problems are solved through plain assertions!

Turns out we have technologies and experiences with technology which weren't possible until very recently. Some things just look very different in hindsight.

Nothing changed in regard to so called hard problem of consciousness. All thought experiments and arguments like Chinese Room and p-zombies are still applicable.

Philosophy of mind hasn't started nor ended with Dennett, and definitely not with AI hype manufacturers.

Qualia might still be magic. Maybe we have souls or something, I don't know.

I'm comfortable with saying that this way of answering the question doesn't work, because the argument is simply, "How can it be false if I believe it's true?"
