Your point might be better stated directly because attributing the characteristics of humanity to... humanity is the opposite of what anthropomorphizing means.

My point is that we don't really know how brains work, and saying "LLMs don't have intent because flourishes hands numbers!" isn't really a convincing, coherent logical argument.

That kind of straw man, that consciousness only emerges from electrical signals, is one of the reasons we haven’t reached AGI yet because we keep underestimating it. There’s way more biological, chemical and physical phenomena going on in brain that gives way to consciousness than just neurons firing ions.

It is still unless proven otherwise a purely physical process.

Yes, but physics is more than electrons.

Electrons are not the question. The question is have we modeled it well enough. As of yet to my understanding there is no physical process that requires more power than a Turing machine.
