Difference between intelligence and consciousness and our role in the universe

What's happening today in places like Silicon Valley is that we are creating artificial intelligence but not artificial consciousenss. There has been an amazing development in computer intelligence over the last 50 years, and exactly zero development in computer consciousness.
We usually confuse Intelligence and Consciousness especially in places like Silicon Valley. Intelligence is the ability to solve problems and consciousness is the ability to feel things, to feel joy and sadness and boredom. In humans, all mammals and other animals intelligence and consciousness go together. We often solve problems by feeling things. So if there is some cosmic role for consciousness, it's not unique to Homo sapiens. Cows are conscious, pigs are conscious, chimpanzees are conscious, so we are not the only sentient beings on Earth. And when it comes to sentience, to say that humans are more sentient than whales, or more sentient than baboons, I see no evidence for that.So first of all if there is some cosmic role for consciousness, it's not unique to Homo sapiens. I think we don't need to find our role in the universe. The really important thing is to liberate ourselves from suffering.
