Maybe yes, Maybe no... It would depend on you actually.
I think that there might be 2 ways to "score" a machine. The first is done by us regular folks via a "Turing Test".
#1.
The Turing test works by having a human evaluator like you conduct a natural language conversation with two entities - a human, and a computer. You would not know which entity is the human and which is the machine. The goal of the machine is to try to convince the evaluator that it is the human, while the goal of the human is to convince tyou that it is not the machine.
So today, perhaps you could tell which was which. But soon, withing a year I bet, you would not be able to tell.
So the question is this: If you (or I, or anyone else) could no longer tell which was which, then, What is the difference? Both have good answers for you, both claim to be self aware to you, so, in your opinion, would the AI be self aware?
#2. Real Experts in the field would use Behavioral analysis,
Phenomenological approaches: and
Integrated information theory (I had to lookup that last one) to determine if it was self aware.
I fully expect that we will have true self aware machines in the next 2 years.
