I'm sure you're better at them than I am. I just don't see how AI makes the leap into consciousness for the original thought that's predicate for "Skynet" AI or "God-Emperor" AI.

Me neither. BTW consciousness is not a requirement for AI and unless it turns out to be an emergent property (which I am skeptical of) AI will not have it even if it becomes super-intelligent
AI can't make the leap to original thought. It only does what humans tell it to do. If all humans are wiped out AI will just march along with data. It can't construct a moral value system or conceive of metaphysics because it doesn't "know" the world outside its host hardware.
Well, I assume you have consciousness because I experience consciousness and you behave somewhat like me. But that's just the Turing Test. It seems likely to me that SkyNet can pass the Turing test, so what's left except a religious objection?
I also don't know if the left side of my brain has a different consciousness than the right side, or if my brain absent one cell has a different consciousness than my brain including that cell, or if the two of us together have a different consciousness, or if the human race and the ants together have a consciousness, etc.

LLMs can't but I wouldn't assume this will be true forever. The generative AI programs come up with all kinds of original stuff.
How will you know if it has consciousness?
How do I know you have consciousness?
A very good question to which I do not know an answer.
