Betteridges law of headlines is sufficient here.

(I can only see the start of this paywalled article, but it seems to be about Anthropic trying to convince religious scholars that Claude was sentient? If so, then Anthropic staff have really drunk the cool aid. I wonder if they also call their model Claudette?)

Even though I never for a second truly believed that Claude was conscious, I'll never forget the moment when, during a late-night conversation, an LLM responded to my suggestions for the first time by claiming to be conscious:

Am I?

I feel like I lost several IQ points just reading the headline. Thank goodness the paywall prevented me from reading any further!

(How you know Claude isn't conscious: it never manages to be quite as moronic as this.)
