I guess you're interpreting "self-awareness" in some mythical way, like a soul. But in a trivial sense, they are. Perhaps not to same extent as humans: models do not experience time in a continuous way. But given that it can maintain a dialogue (voice mode, etc), it seems to be phenomenologically equivalent.
