That's a body model. We have one of those, it's muuuuuuuch better than our attention schema. OFC, machine body models are orders of magnitude more precise than ours. Ultimately, they do the same thing (in both cases), control.
Again for purposes of discussion we're going to assume that the scenario above is not only possible but inevitable, but here again I'd wonder why we would expect anything like us to come of it. We aren't the product of an accidental process of trial and error anymore than a digital thermostat is a product of biological evolution. We're what's left. Consider how different your personal experience could be if you had access to the amount and types of data that a machine has access to weith regards to it's internal models. Any machine that was aware, in that way, would be as different from you and I today as you would be from yourself a million years from now (or however long it took to breed or design people with that ability, if it's even possible).
Qualitatively equal reports of subjective experience may be incomprehensible between us. Rather than being the lone intelligence in a world full of inanimate objects, we are alone in a world surrounded by intelligence. Rather than being the lone experiencer, we are alone experiencing in a world full of conscious entities.
