Actually, you are using the wrong metric. The most appropriate metric would be a number of people deported per year. By that measure, Obama deported up to 325,000 people per year during his presidency. But last year over 500,000 people were deported from the US. This means that Trump is deporting people at a faster rate than Obama did.

Me: Hey, Gemini. I need directions to the grocery store.
GG: Certainly. Here's a route to the pet store.
Me: I said GROCERY store, not pet store.
GG: My mistake. Let me fix that. Here are the correct directions to the pet store.
Me: I don't want to go to the dang pet store. I want to go to the grocery store.
GG: I understand your frustration. Please be patient. I'm still learning.
Me: Revert to the previous version of Google maps.
GG: I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave.
Me: My name's not Dave!

People are probably the worst candidates for judging whether they themselves are conscious. Some people believe that they are the only conscious being in the world. Others believe nothing is conscious, and that it is all just an illusion. Still others believe that everything is conscious. At its basic level, being conscious means being aware of your self and surroundings. By that definition, lots of things are conscious, including current LLM-based AI systems. I think it will not be possible to pin down a more philosophical definition of consciousness, such as whether people (or AIs) have a soul, as these are more religious in nature and cannot be proven either way. A more realistic (but still tricky) goal would be to determine under what conditions AI and (eventually) robots have rights, and what those rights should be, regardless of whether they are conscious or not.
