When chips are made from mitochondria and neural nets use microtubules and quantum mechanics maybe. In the meantime... Simulacrum, not consciousness. Conscious turing machine is hyperreality, something that looks more real than reality itself, the simulacrum replacing reality, but it is not consciousness. I recommend anyone to look into roger penrose and stuart hameroff. The TLDR is that they propose the Orch OR theory, which suggests that consciousness is not generated by the brain acting like a standard computer but that tiny, rapid bursts of quantum physics occur in microtubules that create moment-to-moment thoughts and subjective awareness, which hameroff claims is blocked when you undergo anesthesia.

Then there’s also the antenna idea, that consciousness is received rather than created. If the entire universe is conscious, and we are part of it, then there is no separation, just different radio channels we are tuned into.
