Obviously, we are far from that situation, and I suspect that man will never, owing to topological problems with self-reference in consciousness, come really close to it. But, in fact, this is an empirical problem. Computability Linked with the physical is the possibility for computation. Since man is a result of an enormously complex biological evolution, still badly understood, the sudden jump from rather simple computational systems to AI pleaders' expectations for consciousness within these systems is just surprising. However, the detector approach leaves no hope for such simplistic reasoning.
Natural evolution is known to be effective in exploiting new phenomena.
The independent explanatory relevance of consciousness in the detector approach, supplying the medium for detection, also makes most of Chalmers' thinking on zombies invalid. Chimps and gorillas may be said to be a kind of zombies, but a human zombie without consciousness is not even a logical possibility. Conscious detection is fundamental, permeates behavior, and has affected the structure in human brains in evolutionary time. If we adopt the detector approach, most human activities can be thought to contribute to such a project. A result of the new openness, very much a result of Chalmers' good work, may be the appeal that many kinds of human endeavors should contribute to our worldviews.
