If you're 100% sure LLMs are (or aren't) conscious, how do you know?
MustBeSomethingThere · reddit · 2026-09-28
A Reddit discussion: the poster asks how so many people hold absolute views on whether LLMs are conscious. There is no definitive proof either way for the existence of any form of subjective experience or internal "aliveness" — not just human-like emotions or self-awareness.
The thread invites those with total certainty in either direction to explain what their position is actually grounded in.
