The phrase "in principle" is eliding quite a lot here since we don't understand what process gives rise to qualia in ourselves or whether qualia even exists in the same way as other categories of things. Certainly our naive intuitions suggests that things like conditional/able probability distributions don't have qualia, and so it is unclear how adding multiple modes to a model like ChatGPT (which is just a giant conditional probability distribution) could produce quale or (conversely) why, if conditional probability distributions _can_ have qualia why ChatGPT as it stands now wouldn't have such. When I run my eyes over text the words produce meanings which manifest in my mind and that sensation is a kind of quale, so why not so for ChatGPT? I personally don't think ChatGPT has any experience at all for what it is worth.
