Some very clever philosophers have made some very clever arguments that qualia either don’t exist or are a null concept. If they’re correct, this would explain why we can’t reproduce artificial qualia.

Clever maybe, but that's not the same thing as plausible. Appearance/seemingness of qualia is still actual qualia (which is exactly what is being questioned about in the first place). Qualia is not something that is beyond its appearance/seemingness.
