>It's the higher level emergent stuff that makes a difference. Those who dismiss the idea that LLMs could be sentient because its "just math" or whatever are implicitly assuming there is nothing emergent going on within fully trained networks that might be similar to psychology to warrant ascription of mental terms. The point is that dismissing LLM sentient because of its most basic substrate is equivalent to dismissing human sentience because we're made of atoms.
