Not true, EVERYBODY know how to test for consciousness, intelligence behavior is the
test, and and without exception every person on this list has used that test at least
once every single day of their lives.
No that's not how they test for consciousness; it's how they test for whether a human
being is conscious. If they are dealing with something that looks like a toaster but
plays an good game of chess or bridge or jeopardy they don't assume
intelligence=consciousness.

The entire thing is completely uncontroversial UNTIL you try to apply it to a computer,
and then all of a sudden people insist on changing the rules of the game because they
don't like who's winning.
