I think the majority of people have given absolutely no thought to the epistemology of consciousness and just sort of conflate the apparent communication of emotional intelligence with consciousness.

It's a very crude and naïve inversal of "I think therefore I am". The thing talks like it's thinking so we can't falsify the claim that it's a conscious entity.

I doubt we'll be rid of this type of thinking for a very long time
