What would happen if we encountered very advanced beings from another world ? How would we determine whether they were robots or really living/conscious. They would talk, they might say they are alive.
They may have metallic bodies, is there anything to say that conscious beings cannot.

Disappointed not to see 'if I could explain it, it wouldn't be hard.'
The Hard Problem is solved, in the sense that it is known to be hard, and troubling. Let it be. There are so many more rewarding things to put the same effort to.
