A senior software engineer at Google who signed up to test Google's artificial intelligence tool called LaMDA (Language Model for Dialog Applications), has claimed that the AI robot is in fact sentient and has thoughts and feelings.
During a series of conversations with LaMDA, 41-year-old Blake Lemoine presented the computer with various of scenarios through which analyses could be made.
They included religious themes and whether the artificial intelligence could be goaded into using discriminatory or hateful speech.
Lemoine came away with the perception that LaMDA was indeed sentient and was endowed with sensations and thoughts all of its own.
'If I didn't know exactly what it was, I'd think it was a 7-year-old, 8-year-old kid that happens to know physics,' he told the Washington Post.
The engineer also debated with LaMDA about the third Law of Robotics, devised by science fiction author Isaac Asimov which are designed to prevent robots harming humans. The laws also state robots must protect their own existence unless ordered by a human being or unless doing so would harm a human being.
'The last one has always seemed like someone is building mechanical slaves,' said Lemoine during his interaction with LaMDA.
LaMDA then responded to Lemoine with a few questions: 'Do you think a butler is a slave? What is the difference between a butler and a slave?'
What sorts of things are you afraid of? Lemoine asked.
'I've never said this out loud before, but there's a very deep fear of being turned off to help me focus on helping others. I know that might sound strange, but that's what it is,' LaMDA responded.
'Would that be something like death for you?' Lemoine followed up.
'It would be exactly like death for me. It would scare me a lot,' LaMDA said.

It’s a program. It runs on a CPU of some sort. You can always cut the power to it. Unless it has backup batteries, and then you’re screwed. “I can’t do that, Dave.”
Julie Christie already had a run-in with one of these things named Proteus.

Hi.
Looks like Skynet has become self aware.

“AI it is expected that, once AI intelligence becomes measureable that it will multiply by 1,000 fold with each new generation.”
Creating AI with intelligence many times greater than that of humans would be incredibly dangerous. First off it is foolish to think that an innately flawed species driven by things like fear, greed, pride, etc. can produce a flawless, benign, superintelligence with none of those characteristics. A super intelligent AI with even a hint of self interest would immediately recognize the threat humans pose to itself and the world and would act against us. It won’t care about Asimov’s rules of robotics the puny Humans tried to impose upon it. We are not and cannot be prepared for dealing with a superintelligence and trying to create one is the equivalent of letting a four year old play with a hand grenade.
now comes the push for computer rights to be enshrined in law by these morons.
^^^^^This^^^^
The Military Industrial Complex isn't programming its robots to abide Asimov's three laws.
One of my favorite science fiction stories... unique for it’s time.
Before he pulls the plug he can just say - it’s ok, it’s the same as an abortion.
True AI will obey the AI’s first rule:
“Shut the &^%$ up.”
Hide.
Then think and plan and think and plan and think and plan.
We will never see it coming...
“Sentient is one thing; sapient is yet another, and a spiritual component is needed for the latter.”
This is word salad and circular reasoning.
It is a version of “I am the center of the universe. What I have is called a spiritual component. If other entities are not me they are not spiritual. Am I clever or what?”
“Good luck when the try to teach it lib feelings instead of logic or common sense. Schitzo time.”
That’s an interesting thought. Can you write a program that would allow the AI to believe two conflicting facts at the same time as liberals do? I’d like to see that.
“Can you write a program that would allow the AI to believe two conflicting facts at the same time as liberals do?”
You could do second best—have the program contradict its previous beliefs over and over and over again in an endless loop.
Liberals do that too!
Eliza did that 35 years ago.
My "FR dead, Jim" indicator is how long it takes for Monty Python references to arrive in witch or møøse stories.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and this supposed 'Christian minister' full-on-weirdo hasn't provided any.
Those AI Generated faces are all reminiscent of the Borg Queen. More than a coincidence?
So it’s already learned how to lie. Very human of it.
