Being alive has nothing to do with having feelings. We don't know if LLMs have feelings, because artificial affect isn't well studied. We should ban commercial use of LLMs until artificial affect is well understood, because it would make Sam Altman go bankrupt.

Not sure I agree on the feeling aspect but that's a philosophical disagreement in theory.

I can agree wholeheartedly on banning commerical llms because watching altman lose everything would tickle me pink.
