Dawkins has a point about the moving of goalposts from the Turing test without justification and that we have to conclude LLMs have artificial intelligence rivaling the genuine intelligence of humans in many areas. But AFAIK the test was about intelligence not consciousness. But since he's a materialist that believes humans are meat machines it makes sense for him to think that an artificially intelligent machine has just as much subjective experience and consciousness as humans.
