What Is the Gap?

The spirit of human consciousness and the ability for machines to comprehend, feel, and experience like humans is the gap between intelligence and consciousness. Even with advancements in AI like IBM Watson, the capability to surpass human intelligence exists, but the depth of experience and consciousness remains unattained. This discrepancy between intelligence and consciousness has been a long-standing puzzle, with machines such as Siri and Alexa expected to pass Turing-like tests. The essence of 'feeling' and consciousness remains a challenge for artificial intelligence progress, making it a significant gap in the field.
