Ironically Dawkins has a chapter in his god delusion book where he attacks this style of argument, know as "God of the Gaps".

LLM's aren't conscious, therefore consciousness must be in the "gaps" of LLM's abilities. So I can confidently state that "consciousness is by definition [gap in LLM ability]".

But none of this holds water, because we have no test for consciousness because we don't know what consciousness is, so "by definition" we have no definition.
