This is dumb. I doubt anyone here is going to disagree that it's dumb.
I think an interesting question, if only to use your philosophy muscles, is to ask what happens if something is effectively conscious. What if it could tell you that a cup is upside down when you say the top is sealed and the bottom is open? It can draw a clock. What if you know it's not "life as we know it" but is otherwise indistinguishable? Does it get moral and ethical considerations? What are you doing in Detroit: Become Human?
Or, to be more relatable: does something have to be conscious to be your significant other?
Obviously not or else Robin-Chwan and my relationship would be weird and cringe and I'm neither cringe nor owned
