A well simulated intelligence in a computer would speak and have discussions about 'conscious experience'. (Assuming that is possible, but that is implied by physicalism+Church-Turing)
If you think that the simulation has conscious experience/qualia.../X,
then X gets properties like being non-localized in space and time - you can break the simulation into multiple parts in an essential way and run these parts on data centers across the planet which communicate with each other. Further, you can freeze the simulation for a couple of days and reload. As long as there is no connection to outer signals like the system clock, the simulation wouldn't notice the gap.
If you think the simulation doesn't have consciousness/qualia/X despite accurately replicating humans as measured by instruments, then the simulation is a p-zombie.
