I've read from Hoftadter "I am a strange loop" that should go around those ideas too. The point of how you define consciousness (he does it in a more or less computable way, a sort of self-referential loop), so it may be within the reach of what we are doing with AIs. But in any case, it is about definitions, not having very strict ones for consciousness, intelligence and so on, and human perception and subjectivity (the Turing Test is not so much about "real" consciousness but if an observer can decide if is talking with a computer or a human).
