>> The main reason we believe consciousness exists is because we all experience it.

What about the NPC meme? LLMs behave like NPCs, and some people seem no more conscious than an NPC (I didn't invent that meme).

NPC meme?

No sir, we are a little more high brow around here. Around these parts we talk about p-zombies and solipsism!

I'll bite though, do NPCs behave as if they believe they are conscious? If so, how do you know you aren't one of them?

Isn't that just an insult people throw around? Or maybe some psychopath that tries to justify their worldview.

I have never had an conversation with someone who seems like an NPC.
