I think that's a good point, Nimetic. I don't know whether or not we'll ever be able to construct a neural network such that it is indistinguishable from a human being. But a network of cell phones seems sufficiently distinct from a neural network that I think I can say with some certainty that that won't ever become (or be) conscious.
