How can you conflate the two.

Right, you are interested in “AGI” and presuming none of that requires consciousness right?

For example, how do you know that “feeling pain” is not a functional prerequisite for a task. And that consciousness is a prerequisite for feeling pain

Unproven, but it could very well be some problems require consciousness to be solved.
