What kind of experimental set-up do you have in mind?
I'm skeptical it could be of deep interest to philosophers.
It might tell you something about the current state of AI technology, but that would be it.
Why would I care what answer the LLM gives to a question like, say, Are you conscious?
A one-line Bash script can claim to be conscious, but offers no insight whatever into the nature of consciousness.
We've known for some time that general anesthetics can suspend consciousness. 'Neural correlate' studies give a more detailed understanding of the relationship between brain activity and consciousness. These are of limited value to philosophy of consciousness, though. AI experimentation strikes me as having even less applicability.
