I think that anthropomorphizes the LLM quite a lot. I don't disagree with it, I truly don't know where to draw the line and maybe nobody does yet, but to myself at least I caution the idea of whether or not us using language evocative of the AI as being conscious actually imposes any level of consciousness. At some level, as people keep saying, it's just statistics. Per Chris Olah's work, it's some level of fuzzy induction/attention head repeating plausible things from the context. The "interesting" test that I keep hearing, and agreeing with, is to somehow strip all of the training data of any notion of "consciousness" anywhere in the text, train the model, and then attempt to see if it begins to discuss consciousness/self de novo. It's be hard to believe that experiment could be actualized, but if it were and the AI still could emulate self-discussion... then we'd be seeing something really interesting/concerning.
