TFA is a part of what seems like a never-ending series about concepts that lack a useful definition.

"Thinking" and "intelligence" and "conscious" have no testable definition or specification, therefore it's a complete waste of time to suppose that AI is thinking or intelligent or conscious.

I fear we'll be suffering through these useless semantic merry-go-rounds forever.
