If you manually fired the neurons in a brain by measuring the ion concentrations at its subsides, would it be consciousness?

Oops, auto correct: subsides = synapses

It's was a genuine question though. I'm not saying LLM use neurons, are like neurons, or are meant to be like neurons. I'm saying if you can do the math, for a substrate, that doesn't mean much. The simple math that runs it isn't the secret sauce.
