One massive difference between the two is that a human mind is still in "training" mode, it is affected by and changes according to the conversations it has. An LLM does not. Another major difference is that the human exists in real time and continues thinking, sensing, and being even while it is not speaking, while an LLM does not.

If you ascribe to the idea (as I do) that consciousness is not a binary quality that a thing possesses or does not, you can assign some tiny amount of consciousness to this process. But you can do the same for a paramecium. Until those two major differences are addressed, I believe we're talking about consciousness on that scale, not to be confused with human consciousness.
