After 14 paras of hedging, woofle and "if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its ass a-hopping" level of argument, saying "In any case, the fact remains that we may be creating a new species of morally important beings" is not convincing me of any competence in AI, philosophy, or what 'fact' means.

Even the foremost experts in AI don't know where among an LLM's billions of parameters the actual information is. Does this mean it's conscious? No, it means it's complex. Lots of things are complex.
