I think so too, but I am really curious what will happen when we give them “bodies” with sensors so they can explore the world and make individual “experiences”. I would imagine they would act much more human after a while and might even develop some kind of sentience.

Interaction with the physical world isn’t really required for us to evaluate how they deal with ‘experiences’. They have in principle access to all sorts of interesting experiences in the online data. Some models have been enabled to fetch internet data and add them to the prompt to help synthesize an answer.
One key thing is they don’t bother until direction tells them. They don’t have any desire they just have “generate search query from prompt, execute search query and fetch results, consider the combination of the original prompt and the results to be the context for generating more content and return to user”.
LLM is not a scheme that credibly implies that more LLM == sapient existance. Such a concept may come, but it will be something different than LLM. LLM just looks crazily like dealing with people.
