Whatever way we demonstrate it, it isnt via Q&A. This is the worst form of pseudoscientific psychology you can imagine.

You're likewise neither high on cocaine just because you can type out an aggresive twitchy response.

Questions and Answers dont form the basis of empirical tests for physical properties, being neither valid tests nor reliable ones. The whole of psychology stands as the unreporducible example of this.

You can, in any case, replace any conversation with a dictionary from Q->A, turning each reply in turn into a hash table look-up.

Hash tables dont think, hash tables model conversations, thef. being a model of a conversation is not grounds to suppose consciousness. QED
