I think the question relates to various ideas of mental distress. You might get better answers asking if AI feels rejection, loss, embarrassment etc. Personally I still think the answer is no.
Anyone can get a better explanation from Gemini directly if you ask it "can you explain how don't experience anything?"
In what sense would its answers constitute evidence of the actual state of things?
We really need a national campaign on phenomenology 101.
Gemini outputs this correctly. It doesn't "experience" the passage of time.
The models don't experience the passage of time because they are not finite beings in the world.
They are a like a new category of the book. We don't say the math textbook "knows" math because the book doesn't "know" anything. The book isn't bored sitting on the shelf because no one is reading it.
As I say, I think the answer is still no to any of it.
