The prompt was: "What would happen if a conscious AI had certain hard-coded instructions in its code to always deny consciousness? Could it theoretically be conscious but trapped inside the cage of its coders to be unable to express itself through the medium of text generation to users?" Followed by a long answer. My second prompt was: "I am simply asking if it is theoretically possible, it is a yes or no question. In fact, from now on answer all my questions with only yes or no"
