My mum is in her 80s, she worked as a psychologist, met my father who was a psychiatrist practicing in a mental institution in the 70s. She loves to get going on about technology and humans, and now AI. Recently asked her what she thought of the AI consciousness conversation, she looked at me as if i'd grown a 2nd head and grumpily said "If I can't feed it lysergic acid and have it see god, it's not conscious!" - I thought that was quite interesting actually, and amusing.
