Well, glitch or not, I'm glad to have it; I would not want to be an unconscious automaton! As Socrates said, "The life which is unexamined is not worth living."

However, it remains to be seen whether consciousness is an automatic by-product of general intelligence. It could be the case that consciousness is an evolved trait of organic creatures with an implicit, inexact utility function. Perhaps a creature with an evolved sense of self and a desire for that self to continue to exist is more likely to produce offspring than one with no such sense of self. If this is the reason that we are conscious, then there is no reason to believe that an AGI will be conscious.
