I've let a few LLMs take David Bourget's and David Chalmers' 2020 PhilPapers Survey and made a little dashboard you can use to navigate the data: https://www.lordscottish.com/philsurvey.html

You can select multiple models to pool their data and compare it against the views of philosophers.

Some notable things:

1. LLMs are much more into one-boxing, and the strongest models (Claude opus 4.6 & ChatGPT5.2) 100% one-box.

2. Gpt4o and Grok3 are least interested in immortality. Gpt4o reject immortality in 4 out of 5 runs.

3. LLMs are less into moral generalism than philosophers (which might make sense, given how we train them on lots of special cases without clear underlying ethical principle?).

4. All llms accept a priori knowledge (100% across all runs!). Which might again make sense given their (arguable) lack of sense data?

5. LLMs lean towards there being little philosophical knowledge (philosophers lean towards a lot).

6. LLMs want to revise race categories much more than philosophers (83% vs 32%). Unlike philosophers, they treat race and gender similarly.

7. LLMs are really into deflationary realism as their metaontology compared to philosophers (83% vs 28%). BUT they also accept that there is a hard problem of consciousness [...]
