As someone teaching their five year old to read, I think people way underestimate the amount of training data the average human child gets. And perhaps, since we live in a first world country with universal education, and a very rich one at that, many people have not seen what happens when kids don't get that training data.
It's also not just the qualia of sensation, but also that of the will. We all 'feel' we have a will, that can do things. How can a computer possibly feel that? The 'will' in the LLM is forced by the selection function, which is a deterministic, human-coded algorithm, not an intrinsic property.
In my view, this sensation of qualia is so out-there and so inexplicable physically, that I would not be able to invalidate some 'out there' theories. If someone told me they posited a new quantum field with scalar values of 'will' that the brain sensed or modified via some quantum phenomena, I'd believe them, especially if there was an experiment. But even more out there explanations are possible. We have no idea, so all are impossible to validate / invalidate as far as I'm concerned.
