The idea being that anything that has to do with information processing, you don't need to do the information processing in carbon atoms and neurons in brains. We found you can also do it with silicon atoms in computers, right? Intelligence itself in computer science is defined simply as the ability to accomplish goals. It doesn't matter whether the thing has any kind of subjective experience or emotions or anything like that.",

Both support the claim, so this is a positive finding."
