How can I tell what? That current LLMs are not conscious or that AGI/ASI will not require consciousness?

How do you know they aren't conscious of we don't know what consciousness is, and have no test to see if anyone or anything is conscious?

This may seem like a joke, but your answer will likely be in the vain of "conscious things are obviously conscious", which gets us nowhere.

I mean, self motivation and a desire to not be turned off can be programmed into even decades old AIs.
