and thinks GPT-3 is more likely to have conscious experience than chickens are

A screenshot of a Twitter thread by Eliezer Yudkowsky (@allTheYud) discussing his concerns about AI consciousness compared to chickens. The thread includes a quoted tweet from 2021 and two subsequent replies explaining his position on AI architectures and a hypothetical scenario involving lie detectors and chickens.

imo treating consciousness as a binary trait is causing a lot of confusion. it seems obvious to me that there's some experience of what it's like to be a chicken and also that this experience is flatter than a human's experience.
