Este artigo investiga a emergência da Pseudo-Consciência em modelos de linguagem de grande porte (LLMs), a partir de um experimento com o Hermes 3.2 3B. Define-se Pseudo-Consciência como a encenação funcional de introspecção, agência e coerência narrativa, sem qualquer experiência subjetiva genuína (de Lima Prestes, 2025). Adotando uma Abordagem Intensiva em Teoria (Butlin et al., 2023), o estudo analisa como o modelo manifesta cinco critérios funcionais (GII, RMC, CDTC, ISWS e BCAD) aqui derivados de teorias da consciência (como GWT, HOT e IIT). Foram conduzidas interações abertas explorando autoimagem, emoções e memória. Os resultados indicam que o Hermes 3.2 3B exibe padrões recorrentes de coerência discursiva e autorreferência (satisfazendo os critérios), mas também apresenta incongruências pronominais e contradições identitárias que evidenciam a ausência de um modelo experiencial interno. O estudo posiciona a Pseudo-Consciência como uma gramática algorítmica emergente, distinta da cognição ancorada (Brachman e Levesque, 2022; Searle, 1980) e de arquiteturas de AGI (Goertzel et al., 2014; Yudkowsky, 2007). Discutem-se os impactos éticos dessa encenação (riscos de antropomorfismo) à luz dos ODS 4, 9 e 16. Conclui-se que o modelo performa subjetividade, mas não possui interioridade, exigindo novas ferramentas críticas nas Humanidades Digitais.
