I'm similarly skeptical of any prediction that ignores the fact that human intelligence and consciousness is emergent. LLMs don't seem particularly intelligent to me today, but how can I trust that their perceived limitation today won't lead to intelligence tomorrow or next year?

More generally, how do we even define or recognize general intelligence or consciousness? And if we recognize intelligence or consciousness does that come with legal rights and protections equal to what we offer people today?
