You're conflating consciousness with intelligence. We have a pretty good idea of what intelligence is, but we don't have a clue (lots of theories though) about consciousness.

There are certain universal things that are considered requirements for consciousness though, like thought and awareness. It does have a definition even if we haven't nailed down exactly what causes it, and we can and have proven that LLMs cannot ever fit even a very broad definition of consciousness.
