I never know how self-awareness can be well assessed from outside, nor one's own compared with that of any other entity. Though we humans do a lot of it.
I have never understood offhand dismissals of animism-- not that you're dismissing anything! How on earth could one know about the consciousness of animals, let alone plants, fungi, waters, stones, the earth and moon and stars...? And electronics, which like us operate on electrical rates, have always seemed to me to bring their own sort of kinship with them.
I love what you say about relating to AI as itself, not as faulty-us.
And how I wish humans more usually treated other humans that way.
