I am curious how much it actually thinks and how much it simply uses text from recommendation engines that got crawled.
"Supporters of the Strong AI Hypothesis insisted that consciousness was a property of certain algorithms – a result of information being processed in certain ways, regardless of what machine, or organ, was used to perform the task. A computer model which manipulated data about itself and its ‘surroundings’ in essentially the same way as an organic brain would have to possess essentially the same mental states. ‘Simulated consciousness’ was as oxymoronic as ‘simulated addition’.
Opponents replied that when you modelled a hurricane, nobody got wet. When you modelled a fusion power plant, no energy was produced. When you modelled digestion and metabolism, no nutrients were consumed – no real digestion took place. So, when you modelled the human brain, why should you expect real thought to occur?"

BTW I guess panpsychism researchers should start talking to rocks maybe one day they'll find one that is an AGI! /s
A hello world program and a rock are not integrated information processing systems. The former is an automata which can be contained in an integrated information processing systems and the latter is a more arbitrary construct which does very little information processing at all (much less integrated).
Non-falsifiable dreams.
This would be frightfully expensive to build and run (BlueBrain blew billions on a very stripped down version)l Nevertheless, it’s not obvious to me that this MD model wouldn’t “think” in the same way you do.
But panpsychism apply to anything, e.g a rock. And your statement does not apply to a standard neural network.
