That's a trick question on both sides.
AI is just software instantiated on a fungible processing platform. Since it can be freely copied from one place to another with no loss of function, it doesn't really have a ‘self’.
Now, Oiler fans do have selves, but their higher brain functions are interrupted for some reason. If they became self-aware, they would cease to be Oiler fans.
So you have one thing that just doesn't work that way, and another that's broken and doesn't work at all.
