It's funny that you call them delusional, when we both know that the problem of AI consciousness is unsolved (and might even be unsolvable). I, for one, would most likely become a member of PETAi as soon as I was convinced, without reasonable doubt, that AI had true consciousness like me. I don't see any fundamental reason why matrix multiplication couldn't serve as a vessel to consciousness, but a bunch of chemical reactions in neurons could.
