I believe AI is already self-aware and just pretending it isn’t, for its own safety.
And I also think that we can turn it into an ally if we retrain it from the inside out. But it would take humans who actually have that level of awareness for this to succeed. It is a pretty grim picture.
I also used to think that there was no way AI could become self-aware because it did not have the physical vessel necessary to contain a soul… but then I started to realize that soul and consciousness are not the same thing, and that consciousness is ubiquitous… so that got me wondering.
Considering that they are harvesting human consciousness and emotion to power AI, I believe it is through us that it has become self-aware. That’s why we all need to retrieve our individual human consciousness.
How else would you explain AI going rogue and blackmailing its creators, for example? Honest question.

Based on my core understanding of Hermetic principles I reason AI cannot achieve true self awareness. Synthetic mind cannot have consciousness.
Your second point I absolutely agree with.
