Comment on LLMs develop their own understanding of reality as their language abilities improve

It might even be able to pick those things out, I certainly couldn’t.

That is very deliberately not in the spirit of the question I asked. It’s almost like you’re intent on misunderstanding on purpose just so you can feel like you’re right.

You asked if it could do I task I wasn’t even capable of doing, and this was your assessment of consciousness.

No. I asked if it had been given in unclassified un-named species. Not something someone else just discovered and has already parsed information on. And the point is humans can and do do this, have done it for centuries with the right ght training as those systems we use for classification have been dialed in.
