By that logic, one could say that the following is a strange combination
too:
Many AI researchers are very unclear about what consciousness is and are
also very sure that a refrigerator doesn’t have it.

And it is not only AI researchers. Many mind and brain researchers and
philosophers of mind think that GPT-3 doesn't have consciousness. These
groups should be slightly more clear about what consciousness is than AI
researchers, albeit far from full clarity.
