“Qualia” is pretty ill-defined, if you try to define it you get things like “compressing sense-data” or “doing meta-cognition” or “having lots of integrated knowledge” or something similar, and these are convergent instrumental goals.
None of those are definitions of qualia with any currency. Some of them sound like extant theories of consciousness (not necessarily phenomenal consciousness).
