Yep but that needn't persuade anyone it won't some day get done.
I just can't begin to imagine how electronic circuitry could possibly establish a nexus of caring and identity.
Sure, I can't explain how organic processes in our brain do it either. But clearly brains do it. Every day, ubiquitously. That we can't explain how bags of chemicals do it makes it even less likely that computers will be able to do it. They pretty much depend on us to design and program them, and we don't know how it works.
