By your rules, LLMs & deaf-blind people are not conscious, but self-driving cars are? Also a brain in a vat is not conscious?
The real answer is that we don't know if LLMs are conscious, and we don't really know how we'd that figure out. I guess if an AI wrote a philosophy paper on consciousness that had new insights, that might change some minds. But even that would fail to convince most people.
