    Is language conscious?

    Are atoms?

    I don’t know if LLMs of a large enough size can achieve (or sufficiently emulate) consciousness, but I do know that we barely know anything about consciousness, let alone it’s limits.

      Saying “we don’t know, and it’s complicated, therefore there’s a chance, maybe, depending” is barely the beginning of an argument.
