This framing is a trap. It states "Dehumanize a sick patient OR concede the AI tech bro claim about LLMs"

It's also a rhetorical move I've seen several times here...

It's not a "trap", it's the real argument which makes me hesitant to dismiss consciousness of machines. Yes, it seems silly to dismiss a sick patient as having a lesser consciousness, which is exactly the point

It seems silly to dismiss the patient because we know when healthy they are conscious. This doesn't really analogize to LLMs.
