Seemingly conscious AI is produced by developers who deliberately engineer behaviours that create the illusion of inner life.

False, the mimicry isnt engineered or even deliberate.

Its an outcome of the training process, LLMs are declarative in design, you create a rubric for success and then pure RNG eventually rolls the ball into the target.

You dont make it happen, you just let it randomly roll around until it hits the target by chance.

Maybe true for the first LLMs but at this point it’s intentional
