I think it depends on how you define ‘llm’, ‘ai’ and ‘concious’.

LLM = Large Language Models (Claude, ChatGPT, Le Chat etc)

AI = Artificial Intelligence of any sorts

Conscious = ahh ;) Well, as people usually mean. Something that "is someone", "alive", "I think therefore I am" etc.

LLM, fine. AI, way too broad. LLMS aren’t AI for example, they’re predictive text engines and are not intelligent (they are certainly artificial). Conciousness, well that’s the rub. It kinda matters what we’re talking about there, but if you’re simply going for ‘alive’ then obviously a machine can’t and never can be, until possibly we make some really fancy biomech stuff.

I really mean broad AI :) Any type of artificial intelligence. What constitutes "AI" changes with time (a common example is chess in the 50's).

Some will indeed hold the view that AI can never be "alive", some not. That's what the poll checks for.
