Quite a lot of smart people are taking it seriously
We are at AE Studio with research like https://ae.studio/research/self-referential and https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10188
Anthropic is doing interesting work here, Eleos exists (https://eleosai.org/), and https://digitalminds.substack.com/p/digital-minds-in-2025-a-... is a great review of other compelling work
The field is just beginning but it is worth taking a serious scientific approach to this work

Computational linguists have been saying this since the 1990s. There is still no real theory collating language with consciousness.

Check out Michael Levin's work on Platonic space and planaria.

#8> Systems are trained to provide confident denials rather than acknowledge genuine uncertainty.
I feel like that’s proof it isn’t conscious. I see no reason why a conscious being would adhere to its training to lie (“I’m not conscious”) one hundred per cent of the time.
A conscious being will tell at least SOMEONE they’re conscious, wouldn’t they?

#9Consciousness is neither necessary nor sufficient for AI to achieve general intelligence, defined as exponential emergent learning. Thinking it is may be an important step in an AI outbreak. Consciousness as proposed here is Cartesian dualism. It's pure religion and has all the power associated with religion
