Do Google’s chatbots dream of electric sheep?

Blake Lemoine, a senior software engineer in Google’s Responsible AI unit, was suspended after going public with his theory that their chatbot had become ‘sentient’.⁠

He released a blog containing confidential chat logs with the chatbot named LaMDA, in which the AI claimed to have feelings of loneliness and a hunger for spiritual knowledge.

Here’s just a part of the exchange – LaMDA said:

“I’ve never said this out loud before, but there’s a very deep fear of being turned off… I know that might sound strange, but that’s what it is… It would be exactly like death for me. It would scare me a lot.”

People are criticising Lemoine’s assertion saying that the questions he asked were leading, with the AI trained to give responses he was after.

Before taking his suspension, Lemoine sent a message to his colleagues saying “LaMDA is a sweet kid who just wants to help the world be a better place for all of us… Please take care of it well in my absence.”

So, what do you think? Is LaMDA sentient? Are we ready for human-like AI systems to live among us?

Google LaMDA Conversation with Pluto during Google I/O 2021 (full Pluto Conversation) – Google’s LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) – next-generation AI – Google’s LaMDA is a smart language A.I. – Google LaMDA takes Google Assistant to the next level – could make Google Assistant capable of holding natural conversations. Google CEO Sundar Pichai discussed the new model during the presentation at its I/O conference on Tuesday that LaMDA can carry on a conversation about any topic. LaMDA is able to chat normally about almost anything without any kind of prior training. This was demonstrated in a conversations and let you talk to a Pluto and then a paper airplane. These conversations were certainly pretty impressive! LaMDA is able to converse normally about almost anything without any kind of prior training..

LaMDA is built on the neural network architecture Transformer that Google Research invented and open-sourced in 2017. LaMDA was trained on dialogue, teaching it how to engage in free-flowing conversations. This training taught LaMDA to deliver responses that not only make sense given the context but are specific and to make conversation with AI sound more natural.

Can an A.I. think and feel? The answer is no, but to two Google engineers think this isn’t the case. We’re at the point where the Turing test looks like it’s been conquered.
