Peter Watts explores this in the novel Blindsight. I don't want to give the plot away, but the main idea is really interesting, and relevant to this discussion.

I'm posting to second the recommendation for the novel. It is the most interesting exploration of the Mind's I (not a typo) that I've come across in modern sci-fi.

It can be read in its entirety at the author's site: https://rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm

Recently finished my second read of Blindsight. Enjoyed it more the second time than the first.
