I think that the problem is that certain people have for years now taken this self-awareness / thinking / personality approach to AI and have used the narrative to extract tons of money by FOMO-ing in investors and consumers alike.
While I agree with you that the question itself is not useful at all, the problem we're ultimately dealing with is the endless scare tactics used to make people part with their (in some cases) hard earned money. AGI is the new ICO. And we knew this because the lead figure is literally an ICO scammer, and many of the VC funds that started this were ICO scammers too.
From where I am sitting, the relevant use of the "question" is to debunk predatory CEOs.

Do they all have exposure I didn't know about?
No. It's more like the Stanford Prison Experiment (I was reminded of this by @DarthCoin's vid share (#1230215))
People are easy to manipulate if you put them in a cult or a hard situation where they have to face the majority. You have to be really, really grounded to not give in, especially since, when it's you against the majority, statistics will tell you that the lowest odds are yours.

Yes, there are also the quasi-religious aspects: Namely those same CEOs want to subtly denigrate humans (and by extension God), and simultaneously bolster their own creation.
I too can create consciousness, and well...to be honest...my creation is so dangerous it might just kill all of you

Yep, the god complex is present in these types of sick dudes. Not a fan.

Indeed that is the problem.
