The spread of LLMs has accelerated debates on whether AI could be conscious. While experts have weighed in on this issue, in a new study (preprint: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/5c…) we surveyed the general population on whether they attributed consciousness to LLMs. A thread: (1/n)

But these high rates of consciousness attributions suggest that the general population is willing to attribute consciousness to AI – perhaps surprising given experts in neuro & psychology/philosophy estimate that LLMs are unlikely to be conscious, eg arxiv.org/abs/2308.08708 (7/n)
