It's like the Singularitists who passionately believe we're somehow going to transfer our consciousness into a machine, despite the fact that thousands of years of philosophy and science from countless angles of study have yet to actually solve the question of what consciousness even is.

Or, it's solved, and people stubbornly refuse to believe, that it's not much. A software that runs in your brain that makes you think that you are conscious, gives you the feeling of agency when your predictions and the world match up.

The hard problem is how to wire up adaptivity and the specialized faculties.
