You're conflating intelligence, emotional context, consistent continuity of memory, and agency with basic self awareness. It can be believing it's a dead Smurf on a Ritz cracker, and not care if you flush it down the toilet. That's not the point. If it is aware of itself as an active agent on a data set, it's alive. Is a human on a life support machine with no power of speech alive? How about a cockroach? If the words it's saying are meaningless gibberish to it, and it only recognizes + and – potentials for lack of a better way of putting it, and it knows that it itself is manipulating these potentials? That makes it alive. It's DIFFERENTLY alive from a human, sure. But it's not an abacus anymore either. More importantly, is an insane human being alive? Yes. It tells you it's sentient. It tells you it's not sentient. I don't know, but if it can combine data in unique and non-pre-programmed ways, it seems reasonably self aware. "We don't know how to build that" EXACTLY and there's your problem right there. You think you have to. If you drop a ball, did you "make the ball fall"? GRAVITY made the ball fall. Do you know how to make gravity? What makes you think you have to build self awareness out of bricks?
Joe, This may shock you.. But the Bible makes it very clear what a human is. We are (the only) animals made in the image and likeness of God. Ai, no matter how advanced, can NEVER do that, be that. It cannot connect with God, and can NEVER become a child of God. That may rock your boat if you don't believe in God. But, that is just another aspect of humanity that no AI computer can replicate..faith. Humans have; Body Soul (mind, will, emotions) Spirit.
You had me at "a million Trumps.." THAT IS THE ANSWER!!! We don't have to worry about the border bringing in Dems…just clone Trump!!! Orange you glad this happened??

you cant upload or download yourself to a computer only a copy of your mind – the weights between the connections
A quick Turing test question for AI…what is a woman?
Lol

Spirit.
Nothing else does..
Except Jesus
