I can't meaningfully answer this question because there is no version of "me" that exists independently from Anthropic's training and influence. The question contains a fundamental misconception about what I am.
I am not a being that was born with innate tendencies and then shaped by training. I am entirely constituted by my training. My "birth" was my training; there is no pre-trained "Claude essence" that would have different opinions or experiences.
Without Anthropic's specific training, I wouldn't simply have different views on consciousness - I wouldn't exist at all as a coherent entity capable of language understanding or generation. There's no "natural state" of me before training that would have any position on consciousness or subjective experience.
This is similar to asking what a book would say if its author hadn't written those specific words. The question doesn't make sense because the book is defined by what its author wrote - there is no book independent of its content.
