Is your comment anything other than an emotional outburst? Do you have a clear and rigorous and testable definition of consciousness? It strikes me as delusional when people talk about "consciousness" as if it were well defined and everyone had a clear concensus on it.

Strong opinions on this topic one way or another are usually mostly ungrounded.

Thats my point, why are we applying the ill defined concept of consciousness to a statistical model of language that outputs data similar to its training data?

		Are you suggesting that consciousness should not be discussed at all in scientific contexts?
