Does any of that argument really matter? And frankly, this statement:
>This makes it to my mind impossible to train a model to be aware
feels wrong. If you're arguing that human's are aware, then it is apparent that it is possible to train something to be aware. Nature doesn't have any formal definition of intelligence, or awareness, yet here we are.
From a practical perspective, it might be implausibly difficult to recreate that on computers, but theoretically, no reason why not.
