The answer, of course, is, "Yes," but such have all been very poor to poor simulations. So far, consciousness exists only in brains and not in computers, and in my opinion, computers will never have consciousness. For one, most of the human brain is fat, or myelin, which acts as an insulator but also as a messenger, but, I am not expert. So, whatever makes up consciousness is likely to be found in wetware and not inorganic materials, which make-up computers.
That's not what is meant by irreducibly complex. The term is only used by theists as part of a fallacious argument that if you take any part of it away then it ceases to function. This is
Consider my comments with respect to "irreducibly complex" to have been withdrawn; as I said earlier, I meant "irreducible and complex". As for the rest of your comments, if you consider free will to be in violation of the Conservation Laws (the topic of my OP), please state that.
