Well I wouldn’t be one of them, but I can enter the OBE states. I’m not technically trained. It’s been happening to me all my life though. So the environment that I’m in during an OBE is convincingly real and similar to a physical one minus other dream like elements and archetypical characters. I can tell you without a doubt that the mind creates the world we are witnessing as a virtual world and holds onto that virtual environment even when inputs are gone. If an Ai is going to be like humans, then it’s has to create its own virtual environment In order for it to have internal imagery like we do. I suspect this is where we subconsciously test different actions for consequences. In my OBEs things act very much like they do here with some caveats. Then when you notice you are in a altered reality you are essentially creating feed back. An Ai is going to have 1. be constantly answering its own questions. 2. Answering those questions by seeking information 3. And answers should generate more questions. This sort of constant feed back loop, I believe is the seat of qualia.
