How about an LLM connected to a robotic arm. What then?

As for cognition - can you prove that you possess it, to an external observer? Could you, confined to a box through which you can only communicate through textual messages, prove that you are thinking, and not just responding through a mechanistic process?

Do I really need to prove that humans have cognition? Or, more to the point, do you want to challenge that assumption?
