"The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim." - Edsger Dijkstra

You need to define "consciousness" first for the question to have any meaning, but all our definitions of consciousness seem to ultimately boil down to, "this thing that I'm experiencing".
