I don't think this is quite how the world works. AI (LLM) uses up much
energy already, and there isn't a limitless supply of energy. If robots
were building computers for us to play with, who would pay for the
energy consumed? where does the energy come from to extract oil from the
ground? If you could get solar powered robots to do all the work that is
currently done by humans, from serving in bars to building roads, you
might be in with a chance of the life of leiser, but what is more likely
to happen is the owner of the robots will be extremely rich, and
everyone else will be living under a motorway bridge in a tent. Rich
people don't give their money away, they use it to have power.

There have been some attempts at testing for self awareness, for example
putting something on a dog's head and then putting the dog in front of
the mirror. Does it try to remove the thing from its head when it sees
it in the mirror?
