Our machines won't have biological systems driving their needs which in turn fuel behaviors like desire and planning for the future. They may imitate them but it won't be innate.

For an LLM, "innate" means "in their training data". So yeah, those things are pretty much innate.
And also "instilled during their reinforcement training", and we are currently pushing planning hard there, for autonomous agents.
No I think reinforcement training would be an example of not innate. Don't you? That's like potty training.

When we say "it rains", do we consider that "it" has any intention of agentivity?
Some questions are just ill formed.
Plus even if "LLMs are alive and conscious", this still would scratch the surface of the morale/ethical/societal considerations that people really care about.
Because even with other humans, we can argue if they exist or if they are mere npc in a solipsist world view.
I don't think we say "it rains", do we?
We say "it's raining" but that doesn't imply agency to whatever is causing it to rain.
Also, please don't invoke solipsism, if you want to debate that, you're by definition obligated to do it with yourself.

I think those are things human consciousness has, not is.
