Okay take it to the most conceptual extreme of it. It may be extremely difficult bur its possible to record your entire state and recreate it later right? Then what? Are you not conscious?
I think its odd to dismiss the question of ai consciousness just because of the setting we let them live in at present is start-stop.
You know its software right?
If you don't believe in souls, then something being software should be irrelevant to the question of consciousness. Our brain is also within the laws of a Turing computer as far as we know, due to known physical laws being turing computable.
You are going too far down the woo side when it is a computer program doing ultimately what is expected of it from its programming just like any other computer program. There is nothing you can argue, souls or not, that will convince me otherwise that these are not just computer programs like any other computer programs. If the LLM has a consciousness, then so does MS paint.
