Sorry for the double reply.
What I did in the top comment is called "proof by contradiction", given the fact that LLMs are not physical entities. But for physical entities, however, there's an easier way to show consciousness: the mirror test. It shows that a being knows that it exists. Humans and a few other animals pass the mirror test, showing that they are indeed conscious.
A different test existing for physical entities does not mean your given test is suddenly valid.
If a test is valid it should be valid regardless of the availability of other tests.
