Pain is just signals being processed by the brain, but it is the brain that feels the pain, right?
It is evident if a brain can be created artificially (which certainly hasn't happened yet, but may one day), pain can be created in that artificial brain as well.
I think the original point you are responding to and your are off-the-mark.
I would imagine it to be possible to create a AGI-like entity without self-consciousness. I also would imagine it would be possible to create an AGI with self-consciousness, empathy and pain.
And truly, that is the what is so scary about AI: the possibilities.

If we want a peer we will need to treat it like one, and if we don't it would be cruel to raise it like one or allow any understanding of its circumstance. Looking at it the other way, I think anthropomorphizing something and then treating that thing as an inferior is bad for me, personally.
