1. What, exactly, do you mean by "consciousness"?

2. What is the difference between "having" consciousness and "simulating" it?

These seem plausible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_consciousness#Aspec...

Awareness, memory, leaning, anticipation and subjective experience.

Empathy is a good example, will a computer ever "feel" empathy? Or will it be simulated empathy? Is there actually a distinction? I'm not sure.
