Would it really make a difference though? Whether or not consciousness appears at a certain point doesn't change the AI's capabilities

No idea, it's too theoretical to really discuss. I would assume that sentience/consciousness would have a major impact on the AI's abilities. It would also probably have a profound impact on the AI's motivations. You're now "gifting" the AI with the ability to choose what it want's to do based on it's own rationale and emotion.

Ahh, personally I don't believe in free will so I guess we'll have to wait and see
