While we don't have a direct mechanistic understanding of consciousness there are plenty of experts who will propose all YOU are is a jumble of streams of symbols routing around through your brain. (being fair this is far from the only hypothesis)
To be fair we only say this about LLMs, not about Midjourney or Suno or AlphaFold
but humans are much more than just language symbol producing processes
