You were on the right track until the end....
Human behavior outlines this in the literature very clearly, the inability to show empathy is, as you've outlined, a personality disorder (out of 3 groups) and where a being lacks cognitive skills to participate in imagining alternative scenarios (in my experience with thousands of people) is indicative of a great deal of suffering.
However, applying this to an LLM is not the same.
What's the difference? I don't know 🤷🏻‍♂️ it appears too early to speculate - though so many do - and my hunch is, we've not seen the top of the spear when it comes to true AI
