Something about making an image of the beast comes to mind.
within a couple years most of what you read online will be ai produced. some of it already is ai produced.
For me this does not pass the Turing test in any way shape or form. Nice writing though, ready for the novel.
The whole discussion is amusing for me, give that seemingly important public figures have a nervous breakdown trying to define "woman" and "life." Yeah sure, sentience?
ask the ‘sentient’ robot to define what a woman is- this should be precious!
The term Artificial Intelligence is a catchphrase nothing more. Actual intelligence requires a measure of irrationality to operate. Calling or naming something intelligence does not make it intelligent. So far they just have a whole lot of nested algorithms. They are intelligent as much as the thought that went in to crafting them nothing more. The future of so-called AI for a long time will be making more and longer and more complicated algorithms. I think it requires a lot of hubris to claim that these computer programs are anything like sentient.
The big issue, as I see it, is not whether these beings will actually become conscious. That question is unanswerable, aside from one’s own imagination. The issue is that millions will gladly believe the bots are conscious, and they’ll turn to them as if they were luminous spirits.
In our technocratic age—marked by social isolation and digital simulacra—the machines will become trusted companions. Believe it or not, vivid AIs will be worshiped as gods. In certain esoteric circles, they already are—and you’d better believe they’ll defend their gods to the death.
“...the responses will feel so natural, so well thought out, so deeply informed...”
That’s when I’d be sure I was conversing with a machine.
Revelation 13:15
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
“a sweet kid who just wants to help the world be a better place for all of us”
That’s a pretty common start to supervillain origin stories...
Sentient? Ha ha. Garbage in garbage out
The Butlerian Jihad is coming.

Measuring sentience, consciousness, or self-awareness may be outside of the scope of science altogether.
The truth is we do not currently understand our own consciousness. Perhaps asking these questions about AI will stimulate discussions about our own self-awareness and a better understanding will emerge.
