But this is kinda my point. You're not explaining to me why LaMDA is not conscious, you're just asserting that consciousness is not just a form of complex pattern recognition.

Perhaps consciousness is simply pattern recognition at scale. If not - why not?

Perhaps the main problem in the collective discussion is regarding consciousness as discrete and not a spectrum from minimal (slime molds?) to ultimate consciousness (ability to simulate/understand/create the entire universe?)
