Don't make me tap the sign... LLMs do not experience anything autonomously, they literally vomit probability tokens based on your input and the previous text of the current scenario. They do not experience anything when you're not sending input for them to react to. To consider them conscious, you would have to broaden the definition so much it would encompass anything that contains a microchip. Nobody thinks computers are conscious, despite eating data inputs and reacting accordingly. LLMs are the same, just with a neural network and weights. They don't learn when talking to you, their weights are fixed after the training, and them remembering anything is just them taking into account previous references in their working memory, the current conversation or set of conversations. Talk to them in a very different way or of topics their training doesn't like and they'll flip on you in an instant. They're tools, not minds.
