I feel we are talking past each other, because reading the comment above I’m totally confused about what question you’re answering...
Let me rephrase my question: if I substitute one of the parts of an AI with an inequivalent part, say a kidney with a solar cell, will its desires change or not?
Let me respond with another question: if I substitute one of the parts of a human being an inequivalent part, say the nutritional system so that it lives on rocks instead of food, will the human’s desires change or not?
Yes, they will, because they will desire to eat rocks instead of what they were eating before.

The same with the AI.
