Can you "prove" that GPT2 isn't concious?

If we equate self awareness with consciousness then yes. Several papers have now shown that SOTA models have self awareness of at least a limited sort. [0][1]

As far as I'm aware no one has ever proven that for GPT 2, but the methodology for testing it is available if you're interested.
