You're certainly not wrong! To me, it seems that consciousness is just what it is to be the kind of machines that we are, and also why sentience/consciousness is so impossible for the sort of synthetic 'AI's we have that currently exist. But how could we ever really tell? Hard to know what evidence would ever be convincing either way!

Even love?

Of course! Even love! Just mix a dash of dopamine, a sprinkle of serotonin, a shot of oxytocin, and a hint of norepinephrine. Shake well in a nervous system, serve warm, and call it love!

Would you like a side of pheromones with that?

No, watt is love, so love is energy over time, not chemistry.

No, Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
