"I think the LLM is conscious" makes a lot more sense when you realize a lot of people don't grasp the interiority of other people. If you view other people as a series of inputs and utilities, it makes a lot of sense that you would see inert code awaiting your prompt as conscious.

The people outside of a country that they left for whatever reasons should not be listened to over the people who still live in said country. *Exile* politics is always fraught. Exiles have self-interests like everyone else.

Nothing a genAI model spews out is 'great and watchable', it is at best a synthetic fascimile of something great and watchable (at current tech levels, far out of reach), because art is about human communication and genAI is about corporate dehumanization, breaking human communication. So, no.
