  I'll wait for mirror link, in the meantime, the simplest logic I can come up with:

  - consciousness is only observed in biological life

  - consciousness is presumably occurring in biological brains

  - brains have the following relevant properties

     - constant sensory data stream processing
  
     - constant learning (updating neuron connectivity)
  

  - LLMs don't have those properties, therefore there is no way to presume they are conscious, at least not without first solving consciousness first
