alt Hacker NewsFeelings have physical analogs which are (typically) measurable, however. At least without a lot of training to control.
Shame, anger, arousal/lust, greed, etc. have real physical ‘symptoms’. An LLM doesn’t have that.

LLMs don't really exist physically (except in the most technical sense), so point is kind of moot and obvious if you accept this particular definition of a feeling.
LLMs are not mammals nor animals, expecting them to feel in a mammalian or animal way is misguided. They might have a mammalian-feeling-analog just like they might have human-intelligence-analog circuitry in the billions (trillions nowadays) of parameters.
