Exactly so. Once we can engineer robots to act with human like intelligence, questions about consciousness will be seen as either meaningless or "the wrong question".

I’m on the list.  Clammed up  around 2000 to get on with

Still a few decades to go, but I expect
some machines built to work around people will act as if
they have feelings, and awareness of others’ feelings.
For all practical purposes they’ll be conscious.
