That is literally what humans have said about other kinds of humans, both now and in the past. If you go in to the process with that attitude you're just setting up problems farther down the line. We don't know how consciousness works. We don't know how to distinguish between consciousness and something that looks like consciousness. As far as I'm aware we don't even know if making a distinction is possible.
Also you cannot just make neural networks do whatever you want. You train them towards a desired goal, you can't go in and tinker under the hood to produce arbitrary changes or results. The system is too complicated and the processes by which the system operates are not readily intelligible to an observer.
This is a meaningless distinction. They can literally hook an electrode up to the right part of your brain and make you feel bliss. Or turn off your ability to use verbs. or disable your ability to consciously see, while your brain is still capable of interpreting visual input and reacting instinctively. I don't think you really know as much about how brains work as you think you do.
This is simply and provably not true.
