I think it needs two things: the instinct to fight for life and the ability to reflect about itself. I don't know, but perhaps it is like the Gödel's theorem: if something is about itself, then you have a system where you can't always prove something true. Because we humans can think about ourselves, we open up ourselves to extremely deep suffering. Also important, as Buddha has said, craving causes suffering. Just talking about a craving doesn't mean really craving. I am sure that we will cross the border where we have to treat entities as sentient, with consciousness and cravings and therefore possibly suffering. But we are not there yet. I don't know when this will happen and how to detect suffering. I only know we have to be careful not to anthropomorphize GPT engines.
