You could get a computer program to "guess" and predict, does this mean it's having a subjective experience in doing so?
One cannot make a guess without being conscious of doing do. Guessing is a deliberate, volitional act.
Human beings (with very few exceptions) are not computers.

Even in this case, I do believe we still need to make a distinction between a cognitive act like guessing/planning/decision-making (about which we can conceive of an explanation entirely in terms of neurobiological processes, at least theoretically) and the conscious awareness of that act. This is because there is something that comes off as very weird about consciousness that warrants its own category of investigation.
But I will agree that, in humans, the two tend to correlate together (at least sometimes).
