This video explains, using simple and elegant mathematical proofs, why the universal computational ability proves a computer is not conscious – because all of the meanings and conventions of any computer (IOS vs Android, Java vs. PHP, WAV vs MP3 etc) are assigned by conscious beings:

Neither Siri nor ChatGPT will be ‘waking up’ any time soon.

Cristi Stoica in Romania created this video. Here is his paper that goes deep on the same subject: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/22234/1/can-computers-think.v1.pdf Cristi has helped me with math, physics and biology papers for several years. Works at National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering. My paper Biology Transcends the Limits of Computation makes related arguments and expands on this idea.
