Do you think he is conscious or not?

Cindy has created a life-like robot with a powerful supercomputer, which operates it and allows it to respond in a human-like way to questions. She names this robot "Harold". Harold looks like a person, acts like a person, talks like a person, and responds like a person. He scowls when you make him mad, and even laughs at jokes he's never heard before. Cindy becomes very attached to Harold, and treats him like family.

One day, Harold asks Cindy whether or not he is "conscious", having recently heard the word for the first time. He has a troubled expression on his face and makes frequent sighing sounds, and his journal is filled with entries, which say "am I a real person, or am I just a machine?"

Cindy isn't sure what to say, and wants to be sensitive, but he won't drop the question. She asks you for help. Could Harold be Conscious?

What is your view on it?

"Consciousness is the ground of all being!" - Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics
One Universal Consciousness!!

That means that there is not a single point in the entirety of existence, the Universe, EVER, that is not Consciousness!!
Whether than point in the Universe is in the center of the sun, outer space, in your nose, in a robot... it makes no difference! The 'reflections' perceived upon the point of Consciousness, the unique Perspective (Soul), has absolutely no interaction with it!
The flickering movie cannot affect the screen upon which it is reflected!
So Consciousness!
So, even your toaster is Conscious, but the notion of a toaster 'possessing' Consciousness is absurd!
As is the screen 'possessing' the flickering movie...
... or 'you' or 'I' 'possessing (all ego, vanity, ignorance!) Consciousness!

Existence is the reflection on the screen of Consciousness!

There is only One (unchanging, ALL inclusive) Reality that is uniquely perceived every moment of existence by us Perspectives! *__-
