[ExI] Is the GPT-3 statistical language model conscious?

That said, I don't believe GPT-3 is intelligent or conscious.  It's another
deep learning parlor trick, albeit an impressive one, with some real world
applications.

I happen to be very interested in text generation via AI, so I'm not
disparaging it by any means, but like all this other stuff, it's dead
behind the eyes.
