That’s a controversial thought experiment rather than a proven fact. There’s no proof yet that consciousness isn’t ‘just’ a computation, albeit one done by brain tissue rather than a regular computer, and if that’s the case, then the Church Turing Thesis applies, and the same computation can be done on a different computer without changing its nature.
yyyyes, its interesting how fast the discussion turns from “can machines feel?” to “can we feel?” to “is the mind just computation?” down to asking if everything is deterministic or not… whatever - discussions are fun
