Couple possibilities: 1. Nothing is conscious (this is as lame and self defeating as saying humans aren’t generally intelligent) 2. Only humans have consciousness, individually 3. Only humans have consciousness, collectively (one conscious we all share) 4. Everything is conscious (humans, rocks, n gram model)
