Maybe a robot that perfectly mimics a human does have consciousness, but we don't know that, and I don't think we can know. That's all I'm saying.

For all I know I'm the only "being" in existence who really has this thing called consciousness that I know I experience, and all the rest of you aren't really "real".

I don't know why that would be, but it's a scary thought. Kind of like "The Matrix"...
