I agree that once AI reaches human-level, we should treat it as a person and assume consciousness. I don't see how this dissolves the hard problem, though. Suppose such an AI exists now. What changes?
Attention will turn from metaphysics to engineering. For example the question of "is it conscious" will be parsed into many technical questions about memory, values, input-output, learning algorithms, recursion, sensors, actuators, etc. which will have specific answers in terms of hardware, program, etc. Answers like "It depends on its Loebanity" will be seen, not as wrong, but as tangential; like answering whether a virus is alive by saying, "It depends on its Hamiltonian."
