A very interesting post~
I have some valuable experience to contribute so I shall~
If you really look at quantum physics/science you will see that infinity exists. Also if you really use logic than the only logical conclusion is that infinity exists. If this is the case than everything that has ever existed or ever will exist exists. So the question of "will AI ever reach our level of consciousness" is already answered and really irrelevant. Infinite possibility exists, infinite dimensions exist and so not only does advanced AI already exist but also beings much more advanced than "humans". What we experience or believe to be "truth" is simply based on our level of consciousness. Of course this could be measured in science in some way, but what is of real importance is the experience we ARE having.
So the real question then becomes why are we conscious of what we are conscious of and not conscious of what we are not. By exploring consciousness "consciously" knowing we are only conscious of what we are and yet there is infinite more, we begin to evolve at an accelerated rate.
Ultimately what it comes down to is if we are happy or not. For when we are happy it matters not where we are, what we have or who we are with. Everything is great! Simultaneously when we are not happy it matters not where we are, who we are with or what we have. Everything sucks!
So of course happiness is relative and different on an individual basis. Yet I have fond much more success in happiness/health/love/fulfillment not by trying to quantify or define consciousness or life but by embracing it CONSCIOUSLY knowing anything is possible~
Blessings on the way~*~

These are very much my thoughts on existence and reality. Looking at an idea like the Many Worlds Theory we have to realize that every possible outcome of every possible interaction occurs. The consciousness we experience is only navigating a single path through these eventualities. A lot of interesting ideas can spring from this view. Imagine "mind over matter" situations for instance. We can't actually change anything in reality through our thoughts, because that eventuality exists no matter what. We're simply steering the consciousness that we're perceiving into the eventuality of our choice. To modify The Matrix... I would say, "Do not try to bend the spoon with your mind, simply realize that the spoon is already bent."
Exactly!
