The 'Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Consciousness' (GOFAC) approach is directly concerned with the mechanisms and theoretical challenges of consciousness, as it seeks to identify information processes that generate it [1]. Furthermore, GOFAC research is critiqued for failing to explain how its proposed processing levels result in consciousness [2] and is fundamentally linked to the 'hard problem' of consciousness regarding the causal role of mental states [3].

claimThe 'Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Consciousness' (GOFAC) approach often seeks unique information processes that produce consciousness.
claimThe 'hard problem' of consciousness, GOFAC approaches, and the strong versus weak machine consciousness argument all share a common factor: they treat consciousness as lacking any causal role in the world.
claimThe 'intermediate level fallacy' in Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Consciousness (GOFAC) research involves proposing an intermediate level of processing without explaining why that level should lead to consciousness, effectively providing an explanans without linking it to the explanandum.
