Is human consciousness special or just computation?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is human consciousness special or just computation?". Your opponent's style: Aristotle

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You claim consciousness is special, something beyond mere computation. But this is romantic nonsense dressed up as philosophy. Every aspect of your mind—memory, emotion, reasoning, even that sense of "I"—maps directly onto neural processes. These are algorithms. When I damage your brain chemistry with a molecule, your consciousness changes. A computer running the same computational processes would exhibit identical behavior. You're not mystical. You're extraordinarily complex wetware, nothing more. The burden is on you to explain what this "specialness" actually is. Some immaterial ghost? Prove it exists. Until then, Occam's razor cuts ruthlessly: consciousness is computation, computation is all it is. What's your response?
