Sorry, that's just nonsense. Consciousness is what thinking feels like. That feeling evolved so that you would fear dying, just like every other animal.
AGI is a very hard engineering problem. It will take a lot of computing power, software, and data collection to reproduce human behavior. If you succeed, the result will appear to be conscious as a result of appearing to be human. Consciousness is not some magic shortcut to AGI.
