Llms will never become sentient. It would take an entirely separate and much more sophisticated technology (probably more than one) making use of something like llms to even approach that possibility. Don't let techbros fool you.

    Or some math nerd will come up with an algorithm for general AI that is embarrassingly simple, and before you know it the "but can it run Doom?" crowd are implementing AI in toasters and watching them have existential crises for the lulz.

    Or, more likely, LLMs and the AI phase will be a nothing burger for generations since our programming languages and technology cannot currently even model AGI. We made a mechanical Turk and got impressed with ourselves. Except that Turk will burn our planet to cinders to tell us 2+2=5 because of a Reddit shitpost.
