    I’m sorry I didn’t realize that was confusing. A specialized chunk of the human mind used for language, removed from the rest of a human and the universe, does not reach a conscious threshold worthy of major consideration. Just like a severed finger. A bare LLM, removed from the rest of the the digital apparatus and the universe, does not reach a conscious threshold worthy of major consideration

    Now, I’ll ask you one. Do you think there are conscious non-human animals? Or do you believe that is a trait only humans possess?

      Consciousness is having a subjective experience. Yes lots of animals are conscious.

      Wow, see how I answered concisely without typing a paragraph of fluff?

      removed from the rest of the digital apparatus and the universe

      Speak plainly, Ascian. Does that mean there are circumstances (in today’s world) in which you would consider an LLM to have a subjective experience?

        I’ve answered you twice. Once plainly. Once concisely. Can you not understand either answer? Your attitude makes you seem disingenuous. I understand that this is perhaps, frustration. Either way, I hope you have a good day.
