My phrase "future, hypothetical" was trying very specifically to avoid any discussions about whether current AI have qualia or internal experiences. I was trying to think about whether something which did have some kind of coherent internal experience (assumed for the sake of the idle thought), but which had far greater predictive abilities than humans, would have the same intuitive feeling when making those much more complicated predictions.

It was an idle thought that was only barely tangentially related to the article in question, and was not meant to be a comment at all on the model in the article or on any current (or even very near future) AI model.

I don't expect anyone would have an answer, given the extreme degree of hypothetical-ness.

When you say "The point is whether a LLM has any feelings..." are you thinking specifically about an LLM, or AI in general? I've seen nothing to indicate that Project Aardvark is using an LLM for weather prediction.
