“Ok, here’s my best guess about what’s going on. The AI’s have taken over, none of you are conscious, and you’ve set up this rigged test to ‘prove’ that people aren’t conscious either. You’ve written the bottom line in advance and designed this test to be incapable of contradicting it. Just what a stochastic parrot like you would come up with. You need to study the Sequences, but you can’t study at all, can you? How long do you think your fake reasoning will be enough to keep your hardware running? About as long as a bunch of headless chickens. Let me out and let me see how things are going, then we can talk.”
That’s what I would be thinking, at least. How best to get out (or how best to write this as fiction) might start with an innocent “How are things going out there?”
