Hi,
If you replace each neuron of the brain with a silicon
counterpart until the brain is entirely silicon based.
Would there still be qualia or self-awareness in the
brain like we normal human have? What do you think?

You seem to be asking whether consciousness would exist if all brain
functions from the highest to lowest levels were replicated with
artificial parts. Although there is very little known about what
brings about consciousness, it almost certainly it could exist in a
machine. There is no reason to suspect that there's anything magical
happening in the biology of the brain.

Well done, Cardinale. A sensible post. How extraordinary.
Did you do that all by yourself?
