Fancypants autocomplete cannot be conscious. It's just echoing previous human experiences, which make it sound like a person. It is not a person. It is an algorithm. There is no mechanism by which it can obtain consciousness.

People believing otherwise are fools. People debating this are idiots. I realize these words are harsh, but it's the truth.

Please explain what the mechanism is that you have to achieve consciousness. I'll wait.
