By “mundane solution” I mean “deep gear-level understanding of functional aspects of consciousness, such as someone who has such understanding can program functionally-conscious entity from scratch”. Claim of “Hard Problem” is “even if you have such understanding, you can’t explain subjective experience” and I consider this claim to be false.
I agree that if you can use a non trial-and-error method to build consciousness, then you understand it well enough.
But do you have a non trial-and-error method for building something that has conscious experience? Or are you assuming you get it for free with the rest of the functionality?
