Why would consciousness being something different from what is normally accepted be a problem for every physical science
But there's nothing to suggest that the organically "nonliving" can't ever have consciousness. AI might one day have what we could reasonably call consciousness, you never know.
As far as the AI having consciousness, yup I agree. Although, at that point I would argue that the AI is now alive.
But I guess our disagreement is based on whether or not we agree that evolution assumes biological beings are strictly biological.
