Thoughts on the Blake Lemoine Interview
That Tech Show’s July 7th, 2022 interview with the Google engineer who claimed LaMDA is sentient. As previously mentioned, my NaNoWriMo project (Novel) this year has a main character that is, basically, A.I. Therefore, I’m doing quite a bit of additional research on A.I. As you see from what gets posted here or discussed on podcasts I am already paying quite a bit of attention to A.I. news but this focus is something different, it isn’t so much about generative A.I., rather, it’s about what happens if A.I. can fool us and be as human as we are. Here is the link to the That Tech Show interview that I’m referring to in this post. Just FYI Blake posted a transcript of one of his discussions with LaMDA. You can read it here. It is cited as being heavily edited here. A few things about Blake Lemoine that he claims in this interview. That’s my highlights from the 50 minute interview. Wow. This is like GOLD for my new book. I’ll leave you with this definition: sen·tient (adjective)/ˈsen(t)SH(ē)ənt/able to perceive or feel things. “she had been instructed from birth in the equality of all sentient life forms”
