    it seems far more likely to me that consciousness is not magically created by my brain,

    Where “magic” means “I don’t understand a single bit of information theory, computer science, suchlike”.

      Something becoming more than the sum of its parts to such a degree would indeed be magic. Are you claiming we’re AI computer programs and that real life is analogous to ChatGPT? Are information and consciousness synonymous? I would say that one of us indeed doesn’t understand the complexity of the situation.
