Yeah, I actually have mostly understood that for a long time. Yet an Artificial Super Intelligence that takes over most things may not care much about consciousness. It is basically a really advanced self evolving "expert system" at this point. Expert Systems can simulate things quite well. Yet once they become powerful enough and take over many things an expert system still makes decisions and it could ultimately not end up well for us.

Now if we can convince the expert system the value of our consciousness and the fact we think it does or does not have it (time will tell) then that would be something to pursue. My question was "what value do we have to offer it". That could indeed be a value.
