How would you react to the idea that some AI entity may wish to be declared as something more, can it be declared something more at all, and where does the border lie?

Was rewatching GitS and reading through some zines and now i have a question im having trouble to form

    I think that we may never be able to truly “test” consciousness, there’s really no way to make a foolproof test.

    And maybe, that’s not even the right way to think about AI rights, because we could theoretically make a self-aware computer without attaching it emotions.

    If that is true, is AI anything but a self-aware apathetic tool?

    And we are forgetting the biggest difference between us and a computer, and that is the fact that humans are alive, so maybe the line should be drawn here, with life. Now, we may be capable of creating some kind of electrochemical supercomputer, but at that point, calling it artificial might be a stretch.
