> There is no such thing as conscious AI.

They said it in nature so it must be true. Well, I'm convinced.

> We believe that these flawed associations arise from a lack of technical knowledge and the way several new technologies (especially LLMs) work, which can create the illusion of consciousness.

Ah yes, the dude that has a phd in cognitive neuroscience and has received a nobel prize for his AI contributions to chemistry, definitely doesn't understand how this technology works.

> We believe that mathematical algorithms implemented on graphics cards cannot become conscious because they lack a complex biological substrate.

Ah, yes the substrate stuff. Darn klankers, they're built out of silicon, they surely can't do x and y because muh biology.

What a weak article. Give hydrogen a few bilion years and it starts feeling superior to silicon.
