In some ways that's where we're at today in online discussions. There are additionally legal, political, financial, and social repercussions which we should be on the lookout for if indeed a faction of AI-is-conscious proponents begins to coagulate around the idea.
The primary effect I would expect is that none of them will adequately frame the layperson's expectation of "consciousness" and will thus likely be dismissed as meaningless hype.
