Actually, I propose you're a p-zombie executing an algorithm that led you to post this content, and that you are not actually a conscious being...

That is unless you have a well defined means of explaining what consciousness/sentience is without saying "I have it and X does not" that you care to share with us.

I found Bostom's Superintelligence to be the most boring Scifi I have ever read.

I think it's probably possible to create a digital sentience. But LLM ain't it.

Thing is that other humans have the same biology as ourselves, so saying they're not conscious would mean we're (or really just me) are special somehow in a way that isn't based on biology. That or the metaphysical conclusion is solipsistic. Only you (I, whoever) exists and is hallucinating the entire universe.
