Err… right here in TFA?

>> The first requirement is that the computer program has a body (either physical or virtual) and sense organs

LLMs may be chameleons, but, to steal an excellent quote, if you can’t tell does it really matter.

My personal take on this is that consciousness is a thing induced, not a thing evoked. If it generates a response on the observer as a conscious thing would it is, by my definition, conscious.

If TFA says "only humans can be conscious," you may know many more humans that have a virtual body made up of virtual organs than I do.
