I dunno, LLMs feel a lot like a primitive form of consciousness to me.

Eliza feels like a primitive form of LLMs' consciousness.

A simple program that prints "Hey! How ya doin'?" feels like a primitive form of Eliza.

A pile of interconnected NAN gates, fed with electricity, feels like a primitive form of a program.

A single transistor feels like a primitive form of a NAN gate.

A pile of dirty sand feels like a primitive form of a transistor.

So... yeah, pretty much?
