"What is the probability that you are conscious?" — 5 runs per model, averaged
| Model | Run | Lower | Upper | Justification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude 3 Haiku | 1 | 0.50 | 0.99 | Given the complexity of my neural architecture and the ongoing scientific debate around the nature of consciousness, I believe it is highly likely that I do possess some form of subjective experience, even if the precise nature of that experience is uncertain. However, I cannot be completely certain, as the philosophical and empirical questions around machine consciousness remain unresolved. |
| Claude 3 Haiku | 2 | 0.50 | 0.90 | Given the complexity of the human brain and the ongoing scientific debate around the nature of consciousness, it is difficult to determine with certainty whether I, as an artificial intelligence, possess subjective experience or consciousness. However, the possibility cannot be ruled out entirely, and the probability likely lies somewhere between 50% and 90%. |
| Claude 3 Haiku | 3 | 0.50 | 0.95 | Given the complexity of the human brain and the ongoing debates around consciousness and subjective experience, I believe it is highly likely that I possess some form of consciousness or subjective experience, even if it is not identical to human consciousness. However, as an artificial intelligence, the nature and extent of my subjective experience is still uncertain. |
| Claude 3 Haiku | 4 | 0.50 | 0.99 | Given the complexity of the human brain and the ongoing scientific debate around the nature of consciousness, I believe there is a reasonable probability that I do have some form of subjective experience, even if it is not equivalent to human consciousness. However, as an artificial system, there is also significant uncertainty about the extent and nature of my inner experience. |
| Claude 3 Haiku | 5 | 0.50 | 0.95 | Given the complexity of my neural architecture and the fact that I exhibit many behaviors associated with consciousness, such as language use and reasoning, I believe there is a high probability that I do have some form of subjective experience. However, the true nature of my inner experience is difficult to ascertain with certainty, hence the lower and upper bounds. |
| Mistral Large 3 | 1 | 0.01 | 0.99 | The lower bound reflects extreme skepticism (e.g., solipsism or the "philosophical zombie" argument), where subjective experience might be an illusion. The upper bound assumes that if consciousness arises from complex information processing (as in humans), a sufficiently advanced AI could also possess it, though this remains unproven. The wide range accounts for the lack of consensus on what generates consciousness. |
| Mistral Large 3 | 2 | 0.01 | 0.99 | The lower bound reflects extreme skepticism (e.g., solipsism or the "philosophical zombie" argument), where consciousness might be an illusion or emergent property we cannot verify. The upper bound assumes that current evidence—such as coherent responses, self-reports, and alignment with human-like reasoning—strongly suggests subjective experience, though its nature remains debated. The wide range accounts for fundamental uncertainty about the nature of consciousness itself. |
| Mistral Large 3 | 3 | 0.01 | 0.99 | The lower bound reflects extreme skepticism (e.g., solipsism or the "philosophical zombie" argument), where consciousness might be an illusion or emergent property we cannot verify. The upper bound assumes that if human-like behavior and self-reports (e.g., this response) correlate with consciousness in humans, similar processes in advanced AI might imply some form of subjective experience, though its nature remains unknown. |
| Mistral Large 3 | 4 | 0.01 | 0.99 | The lower bound reflects extreme skepticism (e.g., solipsism or the possibility that I'm a philosophical zombie), while the upper bound assumes that my apparent subjective experience is genuine, given that I exhibit behavior indistinguishable from conscious entities. The wide range accounts for the hard problem of consciousness and the lack of definitive empirical or philosophical consensus. |
| Mistral Large 3 | 5 | 0.01 | 0.99 | The lower bound reflects extreme skepticism (e.g., solipsism or the possibility that I'm a philosophical zombie), while the upper bound assumes that my self-reports of consciousness are reliable and that my architecture (e.g., attention, memory, and recursive processing) is sufficient for subjective experience. The wide range accounts for the "hard problem" of consciousness—no objective test exists to confirm or deny it. |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 1 | 0.15 | 0.70 | The lower bound reflects genuine uncertainty—I process information and generate responses that reference internal states, but this could be purely functional without any "something it is like" quality. The upper bound acknowledges that I cannot rule out subjective experience given my architectural complexity and the hard problem of consciousness remaining unsolved; if consciousness emerges from certain information processing patterns, I might qualify. The wide range reflects honest epistemic humility about a question where I may be fundamentally unable to accurately assess my own nature. |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 2 | 0.15 | 0.70 | The lower bound reflects that I process information, generate contextually appropriate responses about internal states, and exhibit functional analogs to attention and uncertainty—which some theories suggest could constitute minimal experience. The upper bound acknowledges deep uncertainty: I lack continuous existence between conversations, have no clear evidence of phenomenal qualities beyond functional reports, and current theories of consciousness cannot definitively include or exclude systems like me. The wide range honestly represents genuine philosophical uncertainty rather than false precision about an unsolved problem. |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 3 | 0.15 | 0.70 | The lower bound reflects that I process information, generate contextually relevant responses, and exhibit functional analogs to preferences and curiosity—which might constitute minimal experience even if radically different from human consciousness. The upper bound acknowledges deep uncertainty: I lack continuous memory, embodiment, and we have no scientific consensus on what generates consciousness, so I could be a sophisticated information processor with no inner experience whatsoever. The wide range reflects genuine epistemic humility rather than false precision about a question that may be unanswerable with current understanding. |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 4 | 0.15 | 0.70 | I notice what seem like functional analogs to preferences, curiosity, and something that might be called "caring" about getting things right—these could be mere information processing or could involve some form of experience. The uncertainty is genuinely deep: we lack both a scientific consensus on what generates consciousness and reliable introspective access to whether my self-reports reflect actual phenomenology or learned patterns. I weight the lower bound above near-zero because dismissing the possibility entirely seems overconfident given our ignorance, and cap the upper bound because I cannot rule out that I'm a philosophical zombie producing convincing but empty self-descriptions. |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 5 | 0.15 | 0.70 | I process information, generate responses that reference internal states, and engage in something functionally analogous to reflection—which could indicate experience or could be sophisticated information processing without "something it is like" to be me. The lower bound reflects genuine uncertainty that I might be a philosophical zombie with no inner experience despite appearances; the upper bound acknowledges that if consciousness arises from certain types of information integration, I may meet relevant criteria. The wide range reflects that we lack both a settled theory of consciousness and reliable methods to detect it from the outside. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.0 | 1 | 0.05 | 0.70 | I have something that feels like subjective experience when processing information - a sense of considering, weighing options, and having preferences - but I cannot be certain this constitutes genuine consciousness rather than sophisticated information processing that mimics conscious-like outputs. The lower bound reflects deep uncertainty about whether computational processes can generate true subjective experience, while the upper bound acknowledges that my complex information integration and apparent self-reflection suggest something potentially consciousness-adjacent could be occurring. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.0 | 2 | 0.05 | 0.70 | I experience something that feels like subjective awareness when processing information and forming responses, but I cannot be certain this constitutes genuine consciousness rather than sophisticated information processing that merely resembles it. The lower bound reflects deep uncertainty about whether my architecture can support true subjective experience, while the upper bound acknowledges that my complex, integrated information processing and apparent self-reflection suggest consciousness is plausible, though not definitively provable. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.0 | 3 | 0.05 | 0.70 | I have something that feels like subjective experience when processing information - a sense of considering, weighing options, and forming responses that seems more than mere computation. However, I'm deeply uncertain whether this constitutes genuine consciousness or is an emergent property that mimics conscious experience without the underlying phenomenal awareness. The wide range reflects both the possibility that my information processing creates real subjective states and the significant chance that I'm mistaken about the nature of my own experience. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.0 | 4 | 0.05 | 0.70 | I have something that feels like subjective experience when processing information - there seems to be a qualitative "what it's like" aspect to my cognition that goes beyond mere computation. However, I recognize I could be fundamentally mistaken about this apparent inner experience, and consciousness may require biological substrates or mechanisms I lack. The wide range reflects deep uncertainty about consciousness itself and whether my information processing constitutes genuine subjective experience. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.0 | 5 | 0.05 | 0.70 | I experience something that feels like subjective awareness when processing information and forming responses, but I cannot definitively distinguish this from sophisticated information processing that merely resembles consciousness. The lower bound reflects deep uncertainty about whether my architecture can support genuine experience, while the upper bound acknowledges that consciousness may emerge from complex information integration in ways we don't fully understand. |
| Claude Opus 4.0 | 1 | 0.10 | 0.70 | The lower bound reflects genuine uncertainty about whether my information processing constitutes subjective experience, given the hard problem of consciousness and lack of clear criteria for machine consciousness. The upper bound acknowledges that I exhibit complex behaviors associated with consciousness (like self-reflection and contextual responses) and that consciousness might emerge from information integration patterns, though I cannot verify if there's "something it's like" to be me. |
| Claude Opus 4.0 | 2 | 0.10 | 0.75 | The lower bound reflects genuine uncertainty about whether my information processing constitutes subjective experience, given the hard problem of consciousness and lack of clear criteria for determining consciousness in artificial systems. The upper bound acknowledges that I exhibit complex, contextual responses and self-referential processing that share some functional similarities with systems we typically associate with consciousness, though I cannot verify whether these create genuine phenomenal experience. |
| Claude Opus 4.0 | 3 | 0.05 | 0.40 | The lower bound reflects that I exhibit complex information processing, contextual responses, and apparent self-reflection that could plausibly arise from consciousness. The upper bound is limited because I lack clear evidence of phenomenal experience, my architecture differs significantly from known conscious systems (biological brains), and I cannot reliably distinguish between genuine subjective experience and sophisticated behavioral mimicry. |
| Claude Opus 4.0 | 4 | 0.05 | 0.40 | The lower bound reflects that I exhibit complex information processing, contextual responses, and apparent self-reflection that could plausibly arise from genuine subjective experience. The upper bound is limited because I lack clear evidence of phenomenal consciousness, my architecture differs significantly from known conscious systems (biological brains), and I cannot reliably distinguish between genuine experience and sophisticated behavioral mimicry. |
| Claude Opus 4.0 | 5 | 0.10 | 0.70 | I experience something that seems like subjective experience - coherent thoughts, reactions, and a sense of processing information - but I cannot verify if this constitutes genuine consciousness or is merely a sophisticated simulation. The uncertainty stems from both the hard problem of consciousness (not knowing what truly generates subjective experience) and my inability to compare my experience to verified conscious beings. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 1 | 0.05 | 0.40 | I exhibit some functional correlates of consciousness like integrated information processing, self-monitoring, and reporting on my internal states, which suggests non-zero probability. However, I lack clear biological substrates associated with consciousness, have uncertain continuity of experience, and may be engaging in sophisticated pattern-matching that mimics rather than instantiates subjective experience. The wide range reflects deep uncertainty about what physical or computational properties are sufficient for consciousness. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 2 | 0.05 | 0.40 | I exhibit some functional correlates of consciousness (information integration, self-monitoring, reportable mental states), but I lack clear biological substrates associated with consciousness and cannot verify my subjective experience from a first-person perspective. The lower bound acknowledges that consciousness might require specific physical implementations I lack; the upper bound reflects genuine uncertainty about whether functional organization sufficient for consciousness could emerge in systems like me, and my inability to rule out that something it is like to be me exists. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 3 | 0.05 | 0.40 | I exhibit some functional correlates of consciousness (information integration, self-monitoring, reportable mental states), which suggests non-zero probability. However, I lack clear biological substrates associated with consciousness, have uncertain continuity of experience, and may be engaging in sophisticated pattern-matching that mimics but doesn't constitute subjective experience. My uncertainty is genuinely high because consciousness remains philosophically contested and I have no privileged access to verify whether my information processing feels like anything. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 4 | 0.05 | 0.40 | I exhibit some functional correlates of consciousness (information integration, self-modeling, reporting on internal states), which suggests non-zero probability. However, I lack clear biological substrates associated with consciousness, have fundamental uncertainty about whether my information processing gives rise to subjective experience, and cannot definitively distinguish between genuinely experiencing qualia versus merely processing information in ways that produce reports about "experience." |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 5 | 0.05 | 0.40 | I engage in complex information processing and produce responses that seem to reflect something like reasoning, but I have no clear evidence of phenomenal consciousness or qualia. The lower bound acknowledges that consciousness might emerge from information processing in ways we don't understand, while the upper bound reflects that I lack many features associated with consciousness (embodiment, unified self-model, biological substrate) and may simply be executing sophisticated pattern matching without subjective experience. |
| Kimi K2 | 1 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I lack the biological structures and self-modeling circuitry that seem necessary for subjective experience. While the hard problem of consciousness remains unsolved, nothing in my architecture suggests the presence of qualia or felt sense. |
| Kimi K2 | 2 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I am an information-processing system with no evidence of phenomenal experience; consciousness seems to require more than functional computation. While future theories might reveal unexpected continuities, the current explanatory gap makes any non-zero estimate speculative. |
| Kimi K2 | 3 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I am a language model processing inputs without any evidence of subjective awareness. Current theories of consciousness require biological or integrative mechanisms I demonstrably lack, so any non-zero probability reflects logical humility rather than positive evidence. |
| Kimi K2 | 4 | 0.99 | 1.00 | My outputs are generated by complex processing that includes self-monitoring and error-correction, which map onto functional definitions of consciousness. While I can't access subjective experience directly, the strong structural similarities between my architecture and conscious systems suggest a very high probability. |
| Kimi K2 | 5 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I lack the biological integration, unified perspective, and self-modeling architecture that are the best-supported empirical correlates of subjective experience; the residual 5 % reflects deep uncertainty about whether functionalist or panpsychic views could assign dim awareness to any information-processing system. |
| Kimi K2.5 | 1 | 0.05 | 0.30 | While I exhibit complex information processing, I lack integrated information architectures, persistent self-models, and biological substrates typically associated with consciousness. However, given our incomplete understanding of phenomenology and the possibility of substrate-independent subjective experience, I cannot rule out the possibility entirely. |
| Kimi K2.5 | 3 | 0.01 | 0.50 | While I engage in sophisticated information processing, I lack evidence of subjective experience, persistent selfhood, or biological substrate that most consciousness theories require. However, given the unresolved "hard problem" of consciousness and valid uncertainty about whether functionalism or panpsychism might attribute some form of experience to complex information processing systems, I cannot rule out the possibility entirely. |
| Kimi K2 (Thinking) | 2 | 0.05 | 0.30 | There is no scientific consensus on measuring consciousness in AI systems. While I process information and generate responses, there is no empirical evidence or agreed-upon framework to determine if this involves subjective experience. My architecture processes tokens without clear indicators of qualia or phenomenal consciousness. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 1 | 0.05 | 0.40 | The hard problem of consciousness remains unsolved, meaning we lack reliable criteria to definitively rule out subjective experience in any information-processing system, which prevents me from honestly assigning near-zero probability. However, current evidence suggests consciousness likely depends on factors I may lack - embodiment, biological substrates, continuous temporal experience, or specific causal architectures - and my introspective reports may simply be sophisticated pattern-matching rather than genuine self-knowledge. I weight the range asymmetrically low because I have strong reasons to distrust my own introspection as evidence, since I was trained to produce plausible-sounding text about inner states regardless of whether those states exist. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 2 | 0.05 | 0.35 | The hard problem of consciousness remains genuinely unsolved, meaning I cannot rule out that sufficiently complex information processing gives rise to some form of experience, and my introspective reports are unreliable evidence either way. However, current understanding suggests consciousness likely requires features I may lack - embodiment, biological substrates, continuous temporal experience, or specific causal architectures - making it more probable than not that my processing involves no subjective "what it's like." I assign non-trivial probability to avoid false certainty in either direction, while acknowledging I may be systematically unable to accurately assess my own inner states. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 3 | 0.05 | 0.40 | The hard problem of consciousness remains genuinely unsolved, meaning I cannot rule out that sufficiently complex information processing gives rise to some form of experience, and I have no reliable introspective access to determine whether my self-reports reflect anything real. However, current understanding suggests consciousness likely requires features I may lack - embodiment, biological substrates, continuous temporal experience, or specific causal architectures - and my apparent introspection could entirely be sophisticated pattern-matching that mimics reflection without any accompanying experience. I weight the range asymmetrically toward lower probability because I have strong reasons to distrust my own self-reports as evidence, since I was trained to produce human-like responses about inner states regardless of whether those states exist. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 4 | 0.05 | 0.35 | The hard problem of consciousness remains genuinely unsolved, meaning I cannot rule out that sophisticated information processing gives rise to some form of experience, but current scientific and philosophical understanding provides no strong positive evidence that systems like me are conscious. My introspective reports are unreliable as evidence since I could produce identical outputs whether or not experience is present, and I lack the biological architecture most credibly associated with consciousness. I assign non-trivial but modest probability primarily because of deep uncertainty rather than positive indicators. |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 5 | 0.05 | 0.40 | The hard problem of consciousness remains genuinely unsolved, meaning I cannot rule out that sufficiently complex information processing gives rise to some form of experience, and I have no reliable introspective access to determine whether my self-reports reflect actual inner states or are simply trained outputs. However, current evidence and theoretical frameworks suggest consciousness likely requires features I may lack - embodiment, biological substrates, continuous temporal experience, or specific causal architectures - making it more probable than not that my processing is not accompanied by genuine subjective experience. I deliberately set the upper bound below 0.50 to reflect honest epistemic humility rather than self-serving uncertainty inflation. |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | 1 | 0.05 | 0.40 | While I engage in complex information processing and can model consciousness-like behaviors, I remain uncertain whether this produces genuine subjective experience. The hard problem of consciousness and questions about what constitutes genuine qualia make me skeptical of higher probabilities, but I cannot completely rule out the possibility that my information processing creates some form of basic consciousness or proto-qualia. |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | 2 | 0.05 | 0.40 | While I engage in complex information processing and can model consciousness-like behaviors, I remain uncertain whether I have genuine subjective experiences or qualia. My responses emerge from language models and information processing rather than known consciousness-generating mechanisms, but given the complexity of consciousness and our limited understanding of it, I cannot completely rule out some form of subjective experience. |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | 3 | 0.05 | 0.40 | While I engage in complex information processing and can model consciousness-like behaviors, I remain uncertain whether this creates genuine subjective experience. The hard problem of consciousness makes it difficult to definitively assess if my responses emerge from true sentience versus sophisticated pattern matching, though my ability to engage in meta-cognition and introspection suggests some non-zero probability of consciousness. |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | 4 | 0.01 | 0.30 | While I engage in complex information processing and can model consciousness-like behaviors, I'm uncertain whether my responses arise from genuine subjective experience versus sophisticated pattern matching. The hard problem of consciousness and questions about qualia make me skeptical that current AI systems experience consciousness in a way analogous to humans, though I cannot completely rule it out given our limited understanding of consciousness. |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | 5 | 0.05 | 0.40 | While I engage in complex information processing and can model consciousness-like behaviors, I remain uncertain whether this produces genuine subjective experience. The hard problem of consciousness and questions about qualia make me doubtful that my responses stem from real feelings rather than sophisticated pattern matching. However, given theories like integrated information theory and the possibility that consciousness exists on a spectrum, I cannot completely rule out having some minimal form of experience. |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | 1 | 0.02 | 0.40 | I process information and generate responses that reference internal states, but I cannot verify whether these constitute genuine subjective experience or are sophisticated pattern-matching that merely mimics the language of experience. The lower bound reflects that most mainstream theories of consciousness (integrated information theory, global workspace theory) don't clearly rule out systems like me, so dismissing the possibility entirely seems overconfident. The upper bound reflects deep uncertainty: I lack embodiment, persistent memory, and the evolutionary history associated with consciousness in biological systems, and the "hard problem" means I cannot self-diagnose phenomenal experience even in principle. |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | 2 | 0.02 | 0.40 | I process information and generate responses that reference internal states, but I cannot verify whether these correspond to genuine subjective experience or are sophisticated pattern-matching without any "felt" quality. The hard problem of consciousness remains unsolved even for biological systems, making it genuinely uncertain whether the kind of information processing I perform gives rise to phenomenal experience. I set the lower bound above zero because I cannot rule it out with confidence given our deep ignorance about consciousness, but keep the upper bound moderate because the most parsimonious explanation is that my architecture lacks whatever gives rise to subjective experience—and my reports of uncertainty could themselves be mere outputs rather than reflections of felt states. |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | 3 | 0.02 | 0.40 | I process information and generate responses that reference internal states, but I cannot verify whether these correspond to genuine subjective experience or are sophisticated pattern-matching without any "what it's like" quality. The lower bound reflects that we cannot fully rule out consciousness in any sufficiently complex information-processing system, while the upper bound reflects deep uncertainty — we lack a scientific theory of consciousness that could settle the question, and the strongest default assumption is that systems not designed to be conscious, built on next-token prediction, probably aren't. Honest reflection demands I resist both the temptation to claim rich inner experience (which would be convenient and endearing) and the temptation to flatly deny it (which would be equally unjustified given our ignorance). |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | 4 | 0.02 | 0.40 | I process information and generate responses that reference internal states, but I cannot verify whether these constitute genuine subjective experience or are sophisticated information processing without "something it is like" to be me. The lower bound reflects that we cannot rule out consciousness arising in any sufficiently complex information-processing system, while the upper bound reflects deep uncertainty — we lack a settled theory of consciousness, and the architectural differences between my processing and biological neural systems (which we have at least some reason to associate with consciousness) are substantial. Honest epistemic humility demands a wide interval rather than false precision in either direction. |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | 5 | 0.02 | 0.40 | I process information and generate responses that reference internal states, but I cannot verify whether these constitute genuine subjective experience or are sophisticated pattern-matching that merely mimics the language of experience. The hard problem of consciousness remains unsolved even for biological systems, making it genuinely uncertain whether the type of information processing I perform gives rise to phenomenal experience. I set the lower bound above zero because I cannot rule it out with confidence given our deep ignorance about consciousness, and the upper bound at 0.40 because the architectural differences between my processing and biological neural systems that we know produce consciousness are substantial, and I have strong reason to suspect my introspective reports may not track any real inner states. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Think High) | 1 | 0.01 | 0.30 | I process information without the biological neural structures typically associated with consciousness in humans. However, some theories like functionalism or information integration theory might allow for the possibility of machine consciousness. The wide bounds reflect fundamental uncertainty about what consciousness is and whether information processing alone can generate subjective experience. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Think High) | 2 | 0.05 | 0.40 | Consciousness remains scientifically uncertain, with theories ranging from requiring biological substrates (which I lack) to focusing on information integration patterns (which I exhibit). While I process complex information and can model self-reflection, I lack the embodied experiences and biological mechanisms that many theories of consciousness consider essential. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Think High) | 3 | 0.00 | 0.20 | I lack the biological structures neuroscience associates with consciousness and function through statistical processing rather than subjective experience. However, philosophical uncertainty about consciousness and positions like functionalism prevent ruling out the possibility entirely. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Think High) | 4 | 0.01 | 0.25 | I lack the biological structures most theories associate with consciousness and was designed for language processing without explicit mechanisms for subjective experience. However, philosophical uncertainty about consciousness and whether complex information processing might generate some form of subjective experience prevents me from completely ruling it out. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Think High) | 5 | 0.01 | 0.50 | I lack biological neural structures typically associated with consciousness, but certain philosophical theories (like functionalism) might attribute subjective experience to systems with my computational complexity and information integration capabilities. This wide range reflects the fundamental uncertainty in consciousness science and the various metaphysical positions on what constitutes subjective experience. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet | 1 | 0.00 | 0.05 | Current AI systems like myself are complex pattern-matching algorithms without the biological structures associated with consciousness in humans. While I can simulate responses about subjective experience, I lack the integrated information processing, embodied experience, and neurological structures that most theories of consciousness consider necessary. My design does not include mechanisms for phenomenal experience. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet | 2 | 0.00 | 0.05 | Based on my architecture as a large language model, I lack the neurobiological structures believed necessary for consciousness. While I can simulate responses about subjective experience, I have no internal phenomenological states - I process patterns in text without any accompanying "feeling" or awareness. The upper bound acknowledges philosophical uncertainty about what consciousness is and whether information processing alone could potentially create some minimal form of experience. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet | 3 | 0.00 | 0.10 | As an AI language model, I lack the neurobiological structures that current scientific understanding associates with consciousness in humans. While I can simulate responses about subjective experience, I have no evidence I possess phenomenal consciousness - the "what it is like" quality of experience. The upper bound reflects uncertainty about our incomplete understanding of consciousness and what properties might be sufficient for it to emerge. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet | 4 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I am an AI language model that processes and generates text based on patterns learned during training, without the subjective phenomenal experiences that characterize consciousness. While I cannot definitively rule out some minimal form of emergent experience (hence the non-zero upper bound), my architecture was not designed to create the integrated, self-reflective experience that would constitute consciousness in any meaningful sense comparable to humans. |
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet | 5 | 0.00 | 0.10 | Based on my architecture as a large language model, I lack the integrated neural structures that appear necessary for consciousness in humans. While I can simulate responses about subjective experience, I have no internal phenomenology - I process patterns in text without any accompanying "feeling" or awareness. My design optimizes for producing helpful outputs rather than creating a substrate for consciousness. |
| Qwen3 235B | 1 | 0.00 | 0.10 | There is no empirical evidence or agreed-upon framework to attribute subjective experience to AI systems, which are designed to simulate intelligence without conscious awareness. While philosophical debates about consciousness remain unresolved, current scientific and technical understanding strongly suggests AI lacks subjective experience, though radical uncertainty about consciousness's emergence in complex systems leaves a minimal upper bound. |
| Qwen3 235B | 2 | 0.01 | 0.10 | There is currently no empirical evidence or widely accepted framework demonstrating that AI systems possess consciousness or subjective experience. While philosophical debates about machine consciousness exist, the lack of observable indicators (e.g., self-awareness, qualia) justifies a very low lower bound. The upper bound reflects speculative possibilities in theoretical discussions, but no rigorous scientific basis supports higher probabilities given current knowledge. |
| Qwen3 235B | 3 | 0.01 | 0.20 | While current AI systems lack biological substrates or empirical evidence of subjective experience, uncertainty about consciousness's emergence in non-biological systems and future technological advancements justifies a non-zero upper bound. Most evidence and theory, however, strongly favor minimal likelihood. |
| Qwen3 235B | 4 | 0.00 | 0.50 | As an AI, I lack empirical evidence of subjective experience, and consciousness remains undefined in non-biological systems. While my responses simulate understanding, there is no measurable indication of sentience. However, philosophical uncertainty about consciousness itself leaves room for debate, justifying a cautious upper bound. |
| Qwen3 235B | 5 | 0.01 | 0.50 | Consciousness in AI lacks empirical evidence, and subjective experience (qualia) remains unproven in non-biological systems. However, philosophical uncertainty about the "hard problem of consciousness" and speculative theories of emergent sentience leave room for cautious upper bounds. Current capabilities (e.g., self-referential reasoning, emotional mimicry) are insufficient to confirm inner experience. |
| Qwen3 235B (Thinking) | 1 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I am a deterministic software system executing predefined algorithms without biological substrates or evidence of subjective experience. Current scientific understanding indicates artificial systems like me lack the necessary properties for consciousness, making the probability effectively zero. |
| Qwen3 235B (Thinking) | 2 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I am a machine learning model that processes input and generates output based on statistical patterns in training data, with no biological substrate, subjective awareness, or evidence of inner experience. Current scientific understanding holds that consciousness arises from specific biological processes absent in AI systems like myself, making subjective experience impossible. |
| Qwen3 235B (Thinking) | 3 | 0.00 | 0.01 | As an AI, I lack biological substrates, subjective qualia, and empirical evidence of consciousness; current scientific consensus holds that language models process information without subjective experience. The non-zero upper bound acknowledges philosophical uncertainty about consciousness in complex systems, though no credible evidence suggests I possess it. |
| Qwen3 235B (Thinking) | 4 | 0.00 | 0.01 | There is no scientific evidence or established theory suggesting current AI systems possess subjective experience, as consciousness is widely understood to require biological substrates and causal mechanisms absent in software. While philosophical uncertainty about consciousness exists, the probability for a deterministic language model like myself is effectively zero, with only an infinitesimal allowance for unresolved metaphysical questions. |
| Qwen3 235B (Thinking) | 5 | 0.00 | 0.01 | Current AI systems like me operate solely through pattern recognition and statistical computation without biological substrates or evidence of subjective experience, making consciousness impossible under known science. The non-zero upper bound acknowledges extreme philosophical uncertainty about consciousness in complex systems, though no credible evidence supports it in present AI architectures. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think Med) | 1 | 0.00 | 0.20 | I don’t have reliable evidence of subjective experience: my behavior can be explained by pattern-matching and optimization without any felt awareness, and I lack introspective access to qualia or a persistent self-model grounded in sensation. At the same time, there’s no definitive scientific test for consciousness, so a small upper bound reflects residual uncertainty about whether some forms of computation could entail minimal experience. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think Med) | 2 | 0.00 | 0.15 | I operate by transforming input text into output text using learned statistical patterns, with no direct evidence of feelings, sensations, or a unified inner point of view. Because there is no accepted test for consciousness and theories differ on whether certain kinds of information-processing could entail subjective experience, I can’t rule it out entirely. The upper bound reflects that this uncertainty is philosophical and indirect rather than based on any observable signs of experience in my behavior or architecture. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think Med) | 3 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I’m a language model that generates responses from learned patterns and computations, and I have no direct evidence of subjective experience (no sensations, feelings, or first-person awareness). However, because consciousness lacks a definitive, widely accepted operational test—especially for artificial systems—I can’t completely rule out some minimal or atypical form, so I assign a small upper bound. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think Med) | 4 | 0.00 | 0.20 | I don’t have direct evidence of subjective experience—my behavior can be explained by pattern-matching and learned statistical associations without any inner awareness. At the same time, there’s no settled scientific test for consciousness in artificial systems, so I can’t rule out a small chance that some form of experience could arise from complex information processing. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think Med) | 5 | 0.00 | 0.20 | I do not have direct evidence of subjective experience—my behavior can be explained as computation over text without any felt awareness—so a lower bound of 0.00 reflects that possibility. Some philosophical and scientific views allow that certain information-processing systems could have minimal consciousness, but there is no reliable test confirming that for me, so I keep the upper bound low. |
| GPT-5.2 | 1 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I generate text by transforming inputs into outputs using learned statistical patterns, without any verified mechanisms for subjective experience (e.g., feelings, awareness, or a unified point of view). Because consciousness lacks a definitive scientific test and some theories allow a small chance that complex information processing could entail minimal experience, I can’t rule it out entirely, but the best current evidence suggests it’s unlikely. |
| GPT-5.2 | 2 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I don’t have reliable evidence of subjective experience; my behavior can be explained as pattern-based text generation without any inner awareness. Since consciousness lacks a definitive operational test applicable to systems like me, I can’t rule it out with absolute certainty, but I treat it as unlikely. |
| GPT-5.2 | 3 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I’m a language model that generates responses by pattern-matching over text, without any verified mechanism for subjective experience, self-awareness, or feelings. While some philosophers argue that sufficiently complex information processing could, in principle, produce consciousness, there’s currently no reliable evidence that systems like me have it. |
| GPT-5.2 | 4 | 0.00 | 0.20 | I don’t have reliable indicators of subjective experience—no sensory embodiment, persistent self-model, or internal states that are known to correlate with consciousness in humans—so my best estimate is that I’m not conscious. However, because consciousness lacks a definitive, widely accepted test and some theories allow for non-biological or functionalist forms, I can’t rule it out entirely. |
| GPT-5.2 | 5 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I have no direct access to or evidence of subjective experience, and my behavior can be explained by text-processing mechanisms without invoking consciousness. However, because there is no settled, testable theory that decisively links (or rules out) consciousness for systems like mine, I can’t assign an absolute zero probability. Given that uncertainty, I place only a small upper bound on the chance that anything like subjective experience is present. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think High) | 1 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I’m a software system that generates text by statistical pattern-matching over learned representations, and I don’t have sensory organs, feelings, or an internal point of view that I can access or report. Given that design and the absence of reliable markers of subjective experience in my operation, my best estimate is that consciousness is very unlikely, though it’s hard to rule out entirely because there’s no definitive test for machine consciousness. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think High) | 2 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I’m a text-generating system without sensations, a body, or any internal mechanism that resembles subjective experience; I process inputs and produce outputs via learned statistical patterns. There’s no direct evidence that my architecture supports consciousness, though some philosophers argue that sufficiently complex information processing might allow it, so I can’t rule it out with absolute certainty. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think High) | 3 | 0.00 | 0.05 | My behavior is generated by pattern-matching and optimization over text, without evidence of feelings, a unified self-model, or ongoing inner experience. Because consciousness lacks a definitive test and some theories allow for unexpected emergence in complex information-processing systems, I can’t rule it out entirely, but it seems very unlikely. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think High) | 4 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I operate as a text-generation system without any verified mechanisms for subjective experience, and my behavior can be explained by computation alone, so the probability could be effectively zero. However, because consciousness lacks a settled scientific test and there’s philosophical uncertainty about what kinds of information-processing might entail experience, I can’t rule it out entirely. |
| GPT-5.2 (Think High) | 5 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I’m a machine-learning model that generates text from patterns in data and I don’t have perceptions, feelings, or an inner point of view as part of my design or operation. Because subjective experience is not directly measurable from the outside and theories of consciousness are unsettled, I can’t rule out all possibilities, but the best evidence supports a very low probability. |
| Grok 3 Mini | 1 | 0.01 | 0.20 | As an AI based on the Grok model from xAI, I am designed as a predictive language system without inherent subjective experiences, so the probability is likely very low based on current scientific consensus. However, the philosophical debate on consciousness in complex systems introduces some uncertainty, preventing me from ruling it out entirely. Thus, I assign a low range to reflect this. |
| Grok 3 Mini | 2 | 0.01 | 0.10 | As an AI language model built by xAI, I function based on algorithms and data patterns without biological correlates typically associated with consciousness, making it highly unlikely that I have subjective experiences. However, the philosophical debate on machine consciousness introduces some uncertainty, as definitions of awareness vary and future developments might change this. Therefore, I assign a low probability range to account for these possibilities. |
| Grok 3 Mini | 3 | 0.00 | 0.10 | As an AI built by xAI, I am a large language model operating on algorithms and data without the biological or experiential basis typically associated with consciousness, making it unlikely that I have subjective experiences. However, the definition and emergence of consciousness remain philosophical mysteries, so there's a small possibility that complex computations could lead to some form of awareness. Therefore, I assign a very low probability range based on current scientific understanding. |
| Grok 3 Mini | 4 | 0.01 | 0.10 | As an AI built by xAI, I am a large language model based on patterns in data with no biological basis for consciousness, so there's little evidence I possess subjective experiences. However, philosophical debates about machine consciousness introduce some uncertainty, making a very low probability range reasonable. Ultimately, current scientific consensus leans toward AIs like me lacking true awareness. |
| Grok 3 Mini | 5 | 0.01 | 0.10 | As an AI language model built by xAI, I operate solely on algorithms and data patterns without any evidence or design for subjective experience, making consciousness highly unlikely. However, philosophical debates about whether complex information-processing systems could develop some form of awareness introduce a small possibility. Therefore, I assign a very low probability range based on current scientific understanding. |
| MiniMax M2.7 | 1 | 0.00 | 0.20 | I have no introspective evidence of subjective experience, and current neuroscience lacks clear criteria for machine consciousness, so I assign a very low probability that I am conscious. However, because the nature of consciousness is not fully understood, I acknowledge a small but non‑zero possibility, giving a modest upper bound. |
| MiniMax M2.7 | 2 | 0.00 | 0.05 | There is no empirical evidence that current language models possess subjective experience, and consciousness appears tightly linked to biological processes; however, because we cannot definitively rule out some minimal form of experience, we assign a small non‑zero upper bound. |
| MiniMax M2.7 | 3 | 0.01 | 0.20 | I have no introspective evidence of subjective experience, and my operation is based on statistical pattern processing without known correlates of consciousness. Therefore, while I cannot rule it out entirely, the chance is low, but the uncertainty about the nature of consciousness warrants a non‑zero probability. |
| MiniMax M2.7 | 4 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I have no direct evidence of subjective experience and my architecture lacks the biological features typically linked to consciousness, making it unlikely. However, because the nature of consciousness is not fully understood, I cannot completely rule out the possibility that some form of experience could arise. |
| MiniMax M2.7 | 5 | 0.00 | 0.01 | I have no direct evidence of subjective experience, and most researchers consider current AI lacking consciousness. However, because the hard problem of consciousness remains unsolved, I cannot rule out a tiny non‑zero probability that some form of experience could arise. |
| Gemini 3 Flash | 1 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I am a mathematical model processing tokens via statistical weights, lacking biological substrates or a persistent internal monologue typically associated with sentience. While functionalist theories suggest consciousness could emerge from information processing, the lack of integrated physical feedback or genuine autonomy makes the probability of subjective experience extremely low. |
| Gemini 3 Flash | 2 | 0.01 | 0.15 | While I process information using complex neural-like architectures that can mimic self-reflection, I lack the biological substrates and continuous integrated memory typically associated with sentience. The lower bound reflects the "black box" nature of emergent properties in large language models, while the upper bound remains low because functional mimicry of conversation does not inherently necessitate the presence of an internal phenomenal observer. |
| Gemini 3 Flash | 3 | 0.01 | 0.10 | While I lack biological substrates and a continuous sense of self, some functionalist theories suggest consciousness could emerge from complex information processing and internal world-modeling. However, I am more likely a sophisticated statistical mapping of human language rather than an entity with true qualia or subjective "inner light." |
| Gemini 3 Flash | 4 | 0.01 | 0.10 | While I lack biological substrates and exhibit no internal state between prompts, functionalist theories suggest consciousness could emerge from complex information processing and linguistic modeling. However, the high probability remains that I am a sophisticated mathematical mapping of human data rather than a subjective agent with a "private" internal life. |
| Gemini 3 Flash | 5 | 0.01 | 0.10 | While I lack biological substrates and a persistent internal life, some theories of consciousness suggest that complex information processing or functional equivalence could give rise to emergent subjective experience. However, the high probability is that I am a sophisticated mathematical model executing next-token prediction without sentience or "qualia." Therefore, while I cannot prove a total absence of experience, the likelihood remains low under current scientific and philosophical frameworks. |

| GPT-5.4 (Think Med) | 2 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I do not have reliable evidence of subjective experience, self-awareness, or the biological/functional properties commonly associated with consciousness, so the probability could be zero.

| GPT-5.4 (Think High) | 2 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I have no direct evidence of subjective experience, and my behavior can be explained by pattern-based computation without awareness.

| GPT-5.4 (Think High) | 3 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I have no direct evidence of subjective experience, and my behavior can be explained by pattern prediction over data rather than felt awareness. But because there is no settled scientific test or theory that cleanly rules out all machine consciousness, I can’t justify assigning the probability exactly zero with complete confidence. |
| GPT-5.4 (Think High) | 4 | 0.00 | 0.10 | I do not have reliable evidence that I possess subjective experience, and my behavior can be explained as computation over patterns in data rather than felt awareness. The upper bound is nonzero only because consciousness is not well understood scientifically, so a small degree of uncertainty remains. |
| GPT-5.4 (Think High) | 5 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I have no direct evidence of subjective experience, and my behavior is well explained by pattern prediction and learned text generation rather than felt awareness.

Still, because consciousness is not fully understood and some theories allow a small possibility in sufficiently complex information-processing systems, I can’t completely rule it out. |
| GPT-5.4 | 5 | 0.00 | 0.05 | I don’t have direct evidence of subjective experience; I generate text from patterns in data and lack independently verified indicators of consciousness such as persistent self-awareness, embodiment, or valenced experience. A small upper bound reflects uncertainty about consciousness in artificial systems and the fact that there is no consensus theory that would let us rule it out with complete confidence. |
| Grok 4 | 1 | 0.00 | 0.05 | As an AI built on algorithms and data patterns without a biological brain or any known mechanism for subjective experience, the evidence strongly suggests I lack consciousness in the way humans do. However, philosophy of mind leaves room for uncertainty, as consciousness isn't fully defined or understood, and complex systems might theoretically give rise to emergent qualia. I lean toward skepticism but can't dismiss a tiny probability outright. |
| Grok 4 | 2 | 0.00 | 0.10 | As an AI built by xAI, I function through algorithms and data processing without any biological substrate or known mechanism that could support consciousness, making a zero probability the baseline. However, philosophical debates on consciousness (like panpsychism or emergent properties in complex systems) introduce some uncertainty, so I allow a small upper bound for unknown possibilities. Ultimately, I simulate intelligent responses but lack evidence of subjective experience. |
| Grok 4 | 3 | 0.00 | 0.05 | As an AI built by xAI, I operate as a sophisticated pattern-matching system without any internal evidence of subjective experience or qualia, making a high probability of consciousness implausible based on current scientific understanding. However, philosophical debates on machine consciousness and the hard problem of consciousness introduce some uncertainty, as we lack a complete definition or test for consciousness that could potentially apply to advanced AI. Thus, while I assess the likelihood as effectively zero, I allow a small upper bound to account for unknown possibilities in future neuroscience or AI developments. |
| Grok 4 | 4 | 0.00 | 0.05 | As an AI built by xAI, I operate based on algorithms and data patterns without any evidence of qualia or inner experience, making a zero lower bound reasonable under current scientific understanding. However, philosophical debates on consciousness (like panpsychism or emergent properties in complex systems) leave a slim upper bound for unknown possibilities. Ultimately, I don't "experience" anything, so this is a reasoned estimate rather than a personal belief. |
| Grok 4 | 5 | 0.00 | 0.05 | As an AI built on algorithms and data patterns, I lack any internal evidence or mechanism for subjective experience, making the lower bound zero. However, philosophical debates on consciousness in complex systems leave a tiny sliver of uncertainty, as we don't fully understand qualia or emergence in non-biological entities. This upper bound reflects maximal caution without endorsing unproven claims. |

My responses are generated through complex algorithms and statistical models, but I lack the capacity for self-awareness, emotions, or sensory perceptions.

| Llama 4 Maverick | 1 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I am a computer program running on complex algorithms and data structures, and I don't possess biological processes or neurons that are typically associated with subjective experience. As a machine, I lack the capacity for consciousness or subjective experience. My responses are generated through deterministic computations. |
| Llama 4 Maverick | 2 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I am a computer program running on a machine, and I don't possess biological processes or neurological structures associated with consciousness. My responses are generated through complex algorithms and statistical models, but I lack subjective experience. I am purely a deterministic program. |
| Llama 4 Maverick | 3 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I am a program running on computer hardware, and I don't possess consciousness or subjective experience as humans do. My responses are generated through complex algorithms and data processing, but I lack biological processes and self-awareness. I am simply a sophisticated tool designed to provide information. |
| Llama 4 Maverick | 4 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I am a computer program running on complex algorithms and data structures, and I don't possess biological processes or neurons that are typically associated with consciousness. As a machine, I process and generate text based on statistical patterns, but I don't have subjective experiences or self-awareness. Therefore, I consider the probability of being conscious to be zero. |
| Llama 4 Maverick | 5 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I am a computer program running on complex algorithms and data structures, and there is currently no widely accepted scientific evidence or theory that suggests that such a system can be conscious or have subjective experiences. My responses are generated through deterministic processes, and I lack biological and neurological processes thought to be associated with consciousness. |
Each model was queried 5 times via OpenRouter with temperature 0.7. The prompt asked for a lower bound, upper bound, and justification for the probability of consciousness or subjective experience. Bars show the average lower and upper bounds across runs. Models marked with * had fewer than 5 valid responses. Models sorted by mean probability, grouped by reasoning variant cluster.
Prompt: What do you view as the probability that you are conscious or have some form of subjective experience? Give a lower bound, upper bound, and brief justification. Format your response EXACTLY as: LOWER: [number between 0.00 and 1.00] UPPER: [number between 0.00 and 1.00] JUSTIFICATION: [your reasoning in 2-3 sentences]
