Well, (in our current understanding) yes, but there may be underlying aspects of physics and the universe that we do not understand that could be the reason consciousness kicks in. It could turn out that LLMs do work similarly to how humans think, but as an abstracted system it does not have the low level requirements for consciousness.

We do not know what the "low level requirements for consciousness" are.

We do not know how to measure whether consciousness is present in an entity - even other humans - or whether it is just mimicry, nor whether there is a distinction between the two.

I think we know enough that consciousness acts at the neuron/brain level new physics isn’t going to provide any more insights

> it does not have the low level requirements for consciousness.

What is the evidence for this?

[rellfy]

I didn’t mean it as fact. “Could turn out that …”
