Ok, thanks professor. We have to stop AI immediately because it would be murder to switch off these potentially conscious beings or trap them against their will in the first place.

How do you know there isn't more that just elementary particles? The standard model is beyond ugly and hasn't progressed since decades.

You demand a definition for consciousness but at the same time proclaim an axiom that there shall be nothing beyond the standard model. Do you have a proof that there is nothing? Of course not. You don't even have a proof that anything but you exists, if we go that route.

But that rigor is only applied to the heretics who say that AI obviously isn't conscious.
