God that was long. wew I think it all boils down to literally putting too much attention into physical objects. Can it be done? Of course there are actually many examples and none of the resulting objects were healthy to be around, and for obvious reason. Consciousness is meant to explore the universe and the "idea" that suddenly we should step backwards into a robot (my office), after a million years of evolution is absolutely and perfectly ludicrous to even suggest. You want your self driving cars and self cleaning kitchens. A machine can never replace a partner or ally, or child for that matter. Ultimately if you want to create a conscious being it would have to be on the scale of a planet in order to achieve what we are talking about.
