> even if someone is simple minded or mentally unwell enough to think that current LLMs are conscious
If you don’t think that this describes at least half of the non-tech-industry population, you need to talk to more people. Even amongst the technically minded, you can find people that basically think this.
Most of the non tech population know it as that website that can translate text or write an email. I would need to see actual evidence that anything more than a small, terminally online subsection of the average population thought LLMs were conscious.
