Would love to discuss this over drinks. For me it's the opposite. It's feels pretty natural to me to imagine that intelligence and (perceived) free will are emergent properties. But consciousness troubles me, we still can't prove for anyone but ourselves that it does in fact exist - while it's existance is "apparent" to oneself. Also it does not make logical sense to me why such a feature should even develop, why have consciousness if you can have intelligence and problem solving without it? Loved the discussion between Lex Friedmann and Sam Harris on this very topic: https://youtu.be/4dC_nRYIDZU |

Who/what says that you can? Consciousness seems to make most sense as a sliding scale than as a sudden switch.
But even if you do argue that it's optional with intelligence, the reason it would be present would simply be: is the most efficient way to implement it.
