If you tediously work out the LLM math by hand, is the pen and paper conscious too?
Consciousness is not computation. You need something else.

The pen and paper are not the actual substrate of entropy reduction, so not really.
Consciousness is what it "feels like" when a part of the universe is engaged in local entropy reduction. You heard it here first, folks!
This comment here is pure gold. I love it.
On the flip side: If you do that, YOU are conscious and intelligent.
Would it mean that the machine that did the computation became conscious when it did it?
What is consciousness?
