I'm trying to argue that these are largely unrelated questions. You can ask weather Great apes are self-aware in each sense, and get different answers: (i) Great apes pass the mirror test, which certainly requires some level of self-knowledge. (ii) Bernard Baars (a neuroscientist who studies consciousness) has a hypothesis about the part of the brain that gives rise to the "theater" of consciousness. I forget what part of the brain it is, but Great apes have it too, so if his hypothesis is correct then they also have a "theater". (iii) Great apes don't speak, so they don't have anything like our inner monologue. Honestly, I have no idea which of these three attributes an intelligent AI might have. And I see no reason to assume that they go together.
