Begin by dispensing wishful thinking, next, think clearly.
We do not establish the nature of reality by survey, neither of human survey nor of machine. That responses are generated by any system is no grounds for assuming anything.
We can establish mental properties through ordinary physical means. Give a chicken cocaine, give a boy Valium; give a bear a lobotomy, and so on. Whatever mental property you have can be biochemically moderated across all objects which share that property.
That bugs bunny protests his own consciousness is no grounds whatsoever to suppose ink can think. Such nonesense is protoschizoprehnic.
