Eliezer: I was making a parallel. I didn't mean "how are these different"; I really meant, "This statement below about consciousness is wrong; yet it seems very similar to Eliezer's post. What is different about Eliezer's post that would make it not be wrong in the same way?"

That said, we don't know what consciousness is, and we don't know what intelligence is; and both occur in every instance of intelligence that we know of; and it would be surprising to find one without the other even in an AI; so I don't think we can distinguish between them.
