No expert, but here's what I found, because I was curious too.
Ice in water doesn't change the waters height. If you put an ice cube in a cup, the water will be the same height after the ice has melted [1], since the "excess" is lifted out of the water. For some numbers, in 2020, it looks like total sea ice peaked at 18,785 km3, with the oceans volume being 130,000,000, so 0.014% [2].
The thermal expansion of water, as liquid form, is going to be much more important [3].
Related, every time I try to look into climate numbers, I get the sense that there's a gap between grade school explanations and research papers. There's not much between. Asking ChatGPT just reinforces this view. It treats me like a kid, or wraps unsolicited disclaimers/summaries around everything.
