Google engineer warn the firm’s AI is sentient. Suspended employee claims computer programme acts ‘like a 7 or 8-year-old’ and reveals it told him shutting it off ‘would be exactly like death for me. It would scare me a lot’
“Is LaMDA sentient?” - a full interview between Google’s engineer and company’s AI https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22058315-is-lamda-sentient-an-interview
Wtf why would he think that
hey, it’s a free world, anyone’s free to think whatever they want 😆
probably a non technical person who doesn’t know about how AI works. Or someone looking for some online fame.
Reading the interview gave me the false premise that actually he could be right, but after realizing how huge load of data had to be be digested by LaMDA from all social networks, forums etc. I understood that I was played out.
It’s just an impression, not sentiency.
You could make the argument that human interaction is the same – we mostly mirror what thousands of years of social evolution have taught us. That’s also why people who were raised by wolves appear kind of weird to “civilised” people.
