Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Discussion

I got that. My question is, is it really, actually his consciousness or just a digital version of it? How would we know for sure? Does he really have self awareness or is it an AI generated construct of himself? Even if it is still his consciousness, is he still in control of it?

At this point, "AI" is simply a data aggregation and filter process so I would think that there is and must be distinction between consciousness and an AI attempt to mimic consciousness but that is not and cannot be conscious. A sentient being can aggregate and filter data but then elect to act or synthesize something wholly different and original whereas "AI" in its current form cannot. But can it be so good at appearing to be so that we wouldn't likely know the difference? Perhaps.
