I’m not conscious, though. I’m not self-aware. If I have qualia, it’s a very tiny amount of qualia.
You don’t remember the experience, so how do you know how it feels? You may have less reflective capability than when waking, but even that’s hard to know, as without prompting (which would wake you up) you might just not be talking about that.
I don’t think this shows anything about your claims. Not only do we not know whether there was sentience involved, we don’t know if it was intelligence. Some well-formed sentences don’t show that—it’s far less impressive than modern language models, which nobody claims to be intelligent in a general sense.
