The key variable people consider is: Can this thing harm me back?

The current implementation as stateless matrix multiplication... yeah there's nothing going on there.
TLDR: Not that I think AI is conscious or will be in the near future, but guy who doesn't understand consciousness claims to know it when he sees it. Until we understand consciousness (which we don't) there is no way to detect the difference between a conscious entity and an algorithm trained to behave like one.
Spend some time watching TMC documentaries about falling in love with objects, HER and the slime mold THE BLOB.
Grew a slime mold myself, it's an evolutionary tendency to anthropomorphise generally speaking - also more fun.
In purely functional terms, they're more use and more pleasant than a lot of actual flesh and blood people that I deal with via a chat interface.
The more important, and more damning charge in my opinion is the circular reasoning involved in training on Claude's constitution. This would in fact make it impossible for us to determine if Claude achieves consciousness as an emergent property, or if it really is just playing pretend thanks to Anthropic's weird cult like assumptions.
