TLDR
In a reply, one commenter describes contemporary frontier models as complex, stateful and stochastic software systems with some self-referential reflection. They argue that the models’ behaviors are “for the most part taught, not learned,” and avoid the phrase “machine consciousness” because they say its baggage distracts from computational reality.
