Behind every decision a computer makes, at the base level, all there is, is a simple switch that turns on and off - Gates that either either allow electrons to pass through or don't. If our self awareness is created using such simple building blocks, then we must be able to create a "robot" with the exact same self awareness. Otherwise, the only other explanation is that decisions are dictated by our soul. Since, however, there is no evidence for souls existing, self aware computers are probably a thing. What about a home computer? It takes in sensory information and, like any basic organism, reacts to the variable information it receives with predefined actions. It would take a very long time to go into detail, but the main point is that people are literally complex machines made form basic components. What makes us special?
