That's a matter of philosophy and what a person even understands "consciousness" to be. You shouldn't be surprised that others come to different conclusions about the nature of being and what it means to be conscious.
Are we really going to devil's advocate for the idea that avoiding society and asking a language model for life advice is okay?
No, but thinking about whether it's conscious is an independent thing.
