I don't disagree except that in order to produce a sufficiently human-like intelligence that can pass the turing test, we'll most likely need to have pulled the human experience apart enough to understand where the experience of qualia comes from. I think it's hugely unlikely we'll be able to create an intelligence that can carry on a conversation that can fool any human, and still not have a single clue what qualia is or where it comes from. We are a long way from that conversationalist, so it's not surprising we have no good understanding of qualia.
