I think that this line of thinking is smuggling a few assumptions. Ask yourself this: where is ChatGPT? Is it located in your computer, in the cloud? If we cannot even specify a spatio-temporal location for the chatbot, then we cannot begin to assign a notion of consciousness to a "thing" which isn't even a "thing". The real problem of consciousness is dividing the world into self vs non-self. What counts as the chatbot and what counts as the "external" world?
