Think of it as a public service announcement.

Judging by this comment thread, it’s a badly needed one.

    Arguing against your staunch certainty is not the same as fully believing the counter point. I don't believe LLMs are conscious either, but claiming to be the arbiter of sentience is quite arrogant. Especially when we don't understand it ourselves.

    Yes, we understand the mechanisms of biology, but we do not understand our subjective experience of freewill, or if it even exists.

    Which is why your claim is both a strawman and a non sequitur.

    And reading briefly through the comments, most people seem to be arguing against your certainty, not actually claiming to believe the opposite.
