I don’t understand these discussions, but maybe it’s because I’m a Christian (and Catholic).

Lamda is not conscious, because it’s not a human.

Consciousness is a gift from God to humans (and not even to animals). Robots are not conscious, they are just programmed to act like so.

Once your philosophy stop including God and you go purely materialistic, I guess you end up with nonsense like “is lamda conscious” (or even more ridiculous “roko basilisk” - “is AI going to torture us for eternity if we don’t praise it enough?”.)
