predictedYES

Resolved No because I am yet to see a philosopher arguing for anything more serious than "we have no reason to automatically dismiss that GPT-3 is conscious, we do not know"

Do panpsychists count?

predictedYES

@adele Good question but no

Could you tell us appropriately what fraction of current philosophers meet your threshold, and what number you'll consider to be a "significant fraction" for resolution?

predictedNO

"Approximately", not "appropriately".

Really wish we could edit or delete our comments.

@IsaacKing Significant would here be >20% as stated in the question. Right now I would estimate that it's <1%.
