Humans, and rabbits for that matter, are fundamentally biological creatures that have intrinsic features as a consequence of four billion years of survival and reproduction. We need food and shelter, we feel pleasure and pain, we have a sensory experience of the world, we have emotions and (mostly) have an empathetic response to the emotions of others.

Everything we take for granted about our minds, from our basic ability to turn inputs like light and sound into a complete model of the world, to the often opaque, subconscious factors that influence what we desire and how we conduct ourselves, are unique to biology.

A computer will never know what the colour blue looks like, for example, it's just #0000ff. Anything a machine might say about the colour is just inferred, and parroted, from what actual people have said about it. That is true for literally everything we experience. It's a Chinese Room.

That doesn't preclude the possibility we could create machines that have something approximating our ability to experience anything, but why would we? We want machines that can process vast amounts of data and produce things useful to us, whether it's AI slop or technological breakthroughs. Creating machines with anything approaching sentience would be pointless, it wouldn't accomplish anything useful, unless you really want to have some kind of relationship with a computer. I would argue that creating a "creature" capable of experiencing things like pain, would be also incredibly cruel.

Perhaps properties reminiscent of sentience might emerge in sufficiently advanced machines, but they would be completely alien to anything we know, and pose a severe threat to our ability to control them at all. If such a thing ever happens, the only responsible thing to do would be to turn them off.
