I don’t at all share that intuition. My intuition is that consciousness being emergent is both extremely plausible, and increasingly likely as system complexity increases. This intuition also makes consciousness approximately as “real” as “puppies” and “social media”. All three are emergent phenomena, arising from a very small and basic set of primitives.
