I'm not saying chess engines became better than humans so LLM's will become concious, just using that example to say humans always have this bias to frame anything that is not human is inherently less, while it might not be. Chess engines don't think like a human do, yet play better. So for an AI to become concious, it doesn't need to think like a human either, just have some mechanism that ends up with a similar enough result.
Yeah, I can agree with that. So long as the processes in an AI result in behavior that meets the necessary criteria (albeit currently undefined), one can argue that the AI has consciousness.
I guess the main problem lies in that if we ever fully quantify consciousness, it will likely be entirely within the frame of human thinking... How do we translate the capabilities of a machine to said model? In the example of the chess engine, there is a strict win/lose/draw condition. I'm not sure if we can ever do that with consciousness.
