You are responding to a claim about mathematical definitions with subjective experience. No, consciousness is not well-defined, and is irrelevant to this discussion. If we cannot agree on definitions, then we have no ground to stand on. Since LLMs actually can be defined mathematically, and are most commonly studied through that definition, I think it is best to stick to definitions most relevant to that frame of study, wouldn't you agree? Otherwise, we really are anthropomorphising here.
