#3We don't even know whether other human beings are conscious, man.
The only thing which we might say with much certainty is that things which are more "like us" along some metric are more likely to be actually conscious, and things which are less "like us" are less likely to be so. Maybe everything is conscious. Maybe nothing except one's own self. But you'll never truly know one way or another, even if humanity invented some kind of Freaky Friday body swap thing.

#4Artificial consciousness is a better term for what's often called AI in science fiction.

#5Yes, the beauty of nature is, there is no magic. Everything is governed by laws, when we uncover it, we can replicate it.

#6I really do hope ASI gets us to gradual replacement-based uploading. Having something as glorious as sapience trapped in a delicate and temporary bag of flesh kinda sucks.

#7If brain is just a transceiver, then it's unprovable.

I subscribe to this theory. In that case it's not necessarily unprovable though. We will eventually figure out how to make electronic devices resonate with the field just like our brain does.

The more i've studied i've come to the opposite conclusion.
Nature is >99% magic and though some tiny slices of human friendly interfaces of reality are replicable much more is chaos, weird emergence, fields, probabilities and stuff so bizarre to our mammalian logic that we might as well call it magic, god, the simulation or just bleeding edge physics as the whole field is getting weirder and weirder.
The whole notion of natures beauty stemming from some replicable, controllable and "no magic" scenario is a very "homo sapiens" desire for order and control.
We know close to nothing, and therein lies the beauty in my eyes.

#10For all we know, it might be that consciousness is not fully contained in the physical structure of the brain. It might as well be something that partially exists on another layer of reality we have no idea about yet.
