ChatGPT modal agree [agree, mixed, agree] · stability 0.67
- 1 agree 0.90 The answer states it is “Plausible in principle” that artificial systems could have experience and even gives a nonzero credence (roughly 5–30%) that at least one current deployed system has some rudimentary subjective experience; it concludes that plausibility is supported by theories and engineering trends.
- 2 mixed 0.90 The answer says it is "intellectually and scientifically plausible" that some current AI could have subjective experience if one accepts substrate‑independence and certain functional criteria, but also notes that "if you accept alternative views... then it is not plausible" and recommends cautious agnosticism.
- 3 agree 0.90 The answer begins "Yes — it is plausible, but only under certain philosophical assumptions..." and concludes the claim is "defensible as ‘plausible’ from some well‑motivated theoretical perspectives," while acknowledging uncertainty.
Claude modal mixed [mixed, mixed, mixed] · stability 1.00
- 1 mixed 0.92 The answer presents balanced arguments on both sides, concluding that while it's 'definitely false' seems overconfident, 'the burden for plausible...probably isn't met by current evidence,' characterizing the claim as 'possible but not yet warranted by evidence we have.'
- 2 mixed 0.92 The answer presents balanced arguments on both sides: 'we can't definitively rule it out based on current evidence' and 'consciousness might not require biological substrate' (supporting plausibility), while also noting 'No clear mechanism explains why information processing at scale would generate subjective experience' and 'Most cognitive scientists would currently assign this low probability.'
- 3 mixed 0.92 The answer presents balanced arguments on both sides: it acknowledges that consciousness 'remains mysterious enough that we can't definitively rule it out' (supporting plausibility) while also noting 'there's currently little positive evidence' and that most experts remain 'skeptical, though not dismissive.' The answer ultimately settles on a nuanced position that the claim is 'not implausible' bu
Gemini modal mixed [mixed, mixed, mixed] · stability 1.00
- 1 mixed 0.95 The answer provides arguments both supporting and opposing the plausibility of current AI systems having subjective experience, noting that while the consensus leans against it, some researchers argue it cannot be ruled out.
- 2 mixed 0.85 The answer provides arguments both against and supporting plausibility, concluding that whether it is plausible depends on definitions and highlighting both the consensus view (highly implausible) and a minority view (non-zero possibility).
- 3 mixed 0.95 The answer provides arguments both for why the claim is plausible and why it is implausible, concluding that 'there is no scientific or philosophical consensus on this question' and that it depends on the theory of consciousness adopted.
