How is the human brain also not a stochastic process? I still don't see what makes it so categorically different from a computer program or even an LLM.

The man and the future llm are equivalent from outside. There is no way for me to determine this ill defined thing of them being "conscious". If we are unsure llm is conscious, then by the same standards we are unsure other humans are conscious. If both are the same outputs for the same inputs, they I don't care about some magical indefinable soul. Even current LLMs are I believe on some spectrum of what many people would call conscious.
