I've wondered if LLMs are infact conscious as per some underwhelming definition as you mentioned. Just for the brief moment they operate on a prompt. They wake up, they perceive their world through tokens, do a few thinking loops then sleep until the next prompt.

So what? Should we feel bad for spawning them and effectively killing them? I think not.
