That's a terrible argument. It wasn't me making the claim so I don't know why I gotta prove anything. The frauds making the theft machines have to prove it. If the guy says '“Suppose you have a model that assigns itself a 72 percent chance of being conscious" and then the thing can't show it's math, how is it on me to prove I can do that math I haven't seen next?
