I'm extremely comfortable calling this paper complete and utter bullshit (or, I suppose if I'm being charitable, extremely poorly titled) from the title alone.
I recently almost fell on a tram as it accelerated suddenly; my arm reached out for a stanchion that was out of my vision, so rapidly I wasn't aware of what I was doing before it had happened. All of this occurred using subconscious processes, based on a non-physical internal mental model of something I literally couldn't see at the moment it happened. Consciousness is over-rated; I believe Thomas Metzinger's work on consciousness (specifically, the illusion of consciousness) captures something really important about the nature of how our minds really work.
This type of research is absolut valid.
An LLM is not just hallucinate.
