      And how would you design a scientific experiment to determine, empirically, whether an LLM is conscious? Note: You will receive a failing grade on your falsifiability report if your experiment implies the existence of p-zombies.

        An LLM, without a prompt, just sits there. No idle “thoughts”/computations, anything to indicate it has any level of actual cognition. And will do so endlessly until a command input is given. Never an attempt at self driven action.

        We can see their cousins/memory usage. It’s very clear when it’s doing something.
