Don't look at me. I'm not a dualist. I'm not sure LLMs in particular are "conscious", whatever that means, but I don't have any qualms whatsoever accepting that a machine intelligence could be conscious, because as far as I'm concerned we are also "machine intelligence", just squishier.
As a person who feels God's presence in his life: I can neither prove nor disprove the presence of an entity which exists outside the realm of physics by which myself I am bound.
It does, however, feel incredulous that somebody would believe that such as entity exists. Yet here I am, aware.
I'm not Christian, so I don't hold that God is inherently Good only.
For that matter, I personally don't hold that the concepts of good and bad are even relevant - what is good for the cat is bad for the mouse. Nor do I think that we can even comprehend an entity so outside our everyday experience to even label it good or bad. I often can not even properly label my neighbours as good or bad. Nor do I demand consistency of an entity whose actions and motivations I am unable to comprehend. I can't even claim to be consistent in my handling of my own children, and I have far fewer children than God has of us.
