They do learn by reading their corpus, and they do know what's in their corpus.
If you created a temperature sensor and the AI removes itself from hot temps, then it feels pain.
The insistency that AI not be antropormorphized sometimes gets in the way of communication.

> it feels pain
No... It detects temperature and reacts. It does not feel pain. Feels implies both affect and sensation, both of which are experiential, phenomenological qualia requiring some corollary of a nervous system and sentience, neither of which exist within the underlying structure of an LLM or indeed any current AI. AI can no more feel pain than a sliding door can decide to open. It's deterministically reacting to stimuli.

Dawkins faces this argument in "The selfish gene" and he choses to explicitly acknowledge that qualia is unprovable, so takes a definition of the phenomenon that is independent of it.
And this is when studying actual living organisms, so applying it to machines will be even more useful.
