If modern computers can reproduce sentience, then so can older computers. Thats just how general computing is. You really gonna claim magnetic tape can think? That punch-cards and piston transistors can produce the same phenomenon as tens of billions of living brain cells?
That in general seems more plausible than doing it specifically with an LLM.
Slightly yeah, but I'm still overall pretty skeptical. We still don't really understand consciousness. It'd certainly be convenient if the calculating machines we understand and have everywhere could also "do" whatever it is that causes consciousness... but it doesn't seem particularly likely.
