Can an AI have a conscious experience?
If yes, then it is possible to encode such a thing in terms of purely physical properties.
If it is possible, what is the difficulty in accepting that Nature has taken such a path?
It certainly beats the alternative of supposing that there are virtually infinite incorporeal consciousnesses out there, just waiting for a host to materialize.... or that they are created at the same time as the host, by some undefined, unknown and unmeasurable method.
