You have zero proof that a machine is "slightly conscious."
Our brains, which are very complex machines, become regularly non conscious for 6-8 hours out of every day. Do machines experience periods of consciousness and non-consciousness? When you expose our blood system to anestesia, consciousness ceases for a period of time. Why? Anestesia doesn't inhibit brain function as far as we can tell. As far as we can tell, the brain very much knows that the surgeon is cleaving you up. But such things are not sustained in conscious awareness. Why not?
I think Angrboda is asking the right questions.
