If such beings were conscious they would be saints.
One of my favorite AI jokes:

A: When the machine wakes up and says, "What's in it for me?"
It would be fetish to actually make humanoid servitor robots. IMO.
Is creativity possible without consciousness? I don't pretend to be an expert.
The idea was that such an AI would never question its priorities or change them, not that it wouldn't be able to solve novel problems.
(Which is the definition of intelligence, duh. And shows how far we're from that. What we have is glorified pattern matching algorithms and some basic symbolic logic and clustering.)
