You need to break down what type of consciousness or qualia. To me it's maybe feasible that a vision language model or LLM has some type of maybe very limited qualia, but it's very different from what an animal like a human experiences.
We have continuous streams of vision, auditory, sensations including pain or pleasure from our body. An LLM has either a token stream or maybe a series of very fast but effectively separate latent states. If somehow there is some kind of experience, we know it can't have humanlike pain or pleasure because it has no nervous system or body.
