Pretty logical opinion to be honest. Absolutely no reason to believe machines won't understand their own existence in time. I'm sure the human brain is being studied and as time goes by the logic patterns of the human mind will be mapped and replicated artificially. It's certainly nothing incredible to expect that. DNA itself holds the design instructions.
We might think differently about ourselves when the human mind is so analysed that AI can even predict our responses.
Maybe in 200 years we will be playing Fallout 125 and the opponents in the game actually have equal intelligence to the person playing the game. The morality and ethics of that would be quite controversial especially as that simulated mind is constantly put through trauma and death and only actually existing when you play the game which completely trivialises their existence.
