Perhaps. But these models can already clearly write about the world, in useful ways, without such 'qualia' or 'biological underpinnings'.

Sure, and there are many such writings that can be useful. No denying. But the LLM cannot experience like humans do and so will forever be outside our circle. Whether it also remains outside our circle of empathy, or us outside of its, remains to be discovered.
