Hi I would totally say image generation models are conscious of their previous step, and as a result, are meaningfully conscious of stuff about the relationships of the pixels in the same way a text model is conscious of relationships in text. They also seem to have a small amount of situational awareness of being an ai in some cases, though this varies and higher quality models seem to have less of it, and none have a lot.
As I do not want to convince anyone not already convinced, I have no intention of defending this claim. However, because you said nobody claims this, I thought I’d mention that’s not true. Since I don’t really give a crap what anyone in particular believes, and am only interested in having the previous paragraph on record, I will not post in defense of this, and people should not perceive me to be arguing that they should be convinced. Just that I believe it already.
