Nice article! Many current ideas surrounding spontaneous emergence of consciousness in today's AI (or the purported AGI) spectacularly fail to hit the mark. And it is the mark of coming up even with a single original idea that has a universal reach. It's called Creativity - we all have it in spades. But show me a single instance of AI that comes up with one. Just one idea. If it can't even blink on its own, it's a zombie.
