If we go along with the though that our own subjective experience is the only thing we truly know, and that we cannot really know if any other humans are having the same experience (and any belief of that sorts is purely extrapolation), then there isn't a fundamental difference between LLMs and "other humans" in terms of whether or not they're "conscious". Sure, it appears more likely that "other humans" are real conscious beings, but there's no fundamental difference.

>whether these systems do or could in the future exhibit something similar?

I think the whole discussion is based on the idea that consciousness isn't something you can "exhibit". (Tell me, how can you "exhibit consciousness"?)
