When does an embryo become conscious? Unless you can answer that precisely then it seems futile to speculate about non-human consciousness.

I mean, there is obviously a point - we can argue whether that point is 20 weeks in, 40 weeks in, or after birth - but there is obviously a point where a human being goes from a collection of cells to a conscious being. I don't really see a need to answer this precisely to be able to say that a token predictor is not conscious?

I dunno exactly when an embryo becomes conscious, but I'm pretty sure my dog is conscious.
