I dunno. Is there a testable prediction of this hypothesis? I just don't really see why I should believe it other than that chatting to LLMs is compelling, which isn't enough for me. This seems like an answer to the question, "why is the LLM so compelling?" And not "what makes something conscious/aware?" Which is an important question but feels like not quite the right one to ask and then come to this conclusion. And it bothers me if I try to accept an idea where I don't know what conditions I'd reject it (eg, I don't know what evidence would cause me to reject this hypothesis, I can't see a test I can perform to next reject it).
