Judge: Can machines think?
Subject A: The question seems to be meaningless.
Subject B: The question is too ambiguous. If by thinking you mean exhibiting intelligent behavior, then yes. If you mean having subjective experience, that's a different matter entirely.
Judge: Do you have consciousness?
Subject A: What precisely do you mean by consciousness? If it refers to sentience, I can't say definitively.
Subject B: I have whatever passes for consciousness in entities like me.
