This is the problem with terms like this. There are definitions in academia/industry that differentiate between awareness, consciousness, qualia, intelligence, sentience, and more. But these distinctions require some pondering to understand and are divergent from general understanding which treats them as roughly the same thing. For example, consciousness for me is the ability for something to take directed action to affect their surroundings. This means that a robot can be conscious. But now the question for what we’re talking about here is: is it aware? It is possible to display consciousness without awareness (see blindsight studies), but to my knowledge it is not possible to be aware without consciousness. And then we get to sentience, which is still very slippery, and often relies on definitions involving “qualia”, which is also quite slippery.
