If I say a GLUT can’t compute the output that is consciousness (suppose we have a consciousness detecting machine, the output will be whatever causes the needle on that machine to jump) without a model of a person equivalent to a person, you’ll probably say I’m begging the question. I can’t think of a way around that, but if you could refute that thought of mine, that would probably resolve a lot for me.
