It depends on the pov of the robots... but if after all turing test like I
could do against him, I'm not able to differentiate it with a human being...
I have to conclude it has consciousness, because to tell otherwise I would
need a proof that he's not conscious, and the only possible proof is that
I'll be able to differentiate it through 3rd persons tests, or we've just
said that it succeed every tests.

it is not the usage of the word 'I', it's all the concept related to it and
the understanding at a personal level of the word from the teller that
matter.
