AI ethics field seems infested with the dumbest people alive. They are on par with journalists.

They are the embodiment of the meme "say you're alive"

I'm alive

"Oh my god its alive"

I don’t think anyone thinks the turing “test” implies machine thinking anymore. Check out the philosophers publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NHcVwwMAAAAJ

There’s some in my opinion very significant open issues in the philosophy of ethics and consciousness that make AI ethics an important area of research.
