Why would you doubt that you’re sentient? Your world model includes yourself and you can reason about yourself as part of the world so why should the ability of an AI model being able to also do that change your opinion on that? Don’t get why you think what consciousness is, I guess you look at something beyond the definition and whether there’s something special on the meta level but I don’t get how you could doubt that you’re conscious, it’s a straightforward property as far as I understand, it’s just nothing special. |

Because if you apply the same logic to that we apply to AI. "Under the hood" AI is nothing but vector-matrix multiplications and a few other operations.
We know matrix multiplications aren't sentient, nor are those other operations.
Likewise, we know if we look under the hood/cut open a human brain we find conductive membranes, and a Kalium-Natrium balance that shifts, signals jumping from one neuron to the next, moderated by one of four chemicals. And by the way, the structure of neurons looks a lot like one of those vector-matrix multiplications. Not exactly but quite a bit.
Why would we draw a different conclusion? You're not sentient by those rules we use to judge AI.
Everytime someone finds a new way to fool humans into thinking an AI is sentient this comes up again. Of course, these days we have many examples of AIs not just convincing humans they're AI but actually doing it to the point they exploit human thinking and "steal" money (stealing in the hacking sense, except what's hacked is human minds). And doubtless intelligence agencies are doing far, far worse.
