"How do we know ChatGPT isn't conscious?" — RogueAI

I am new at this AI discussion, and have no experience with ChatGPT. But from a conceptual perspective, I suggest ChatGPT cannot be conscious because it lacks uniqueness. I assume each living entity has conscience and that this conscience possesses elements not present in other living entities.

If, on the other hand, we allow ourselves to believe that ChatGPT is capable of developing unique elements we cannot argue the contrary.
