And after reading his conversations with LaMDA (short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications), it's easy to see why. The chatbot system, which relies on Google's language models and trillions of words from the internet, seems to have the ability to think about its own existence and its place in the world.After discussing his work and Google's unethical activities around AI with a representative of the House Judiciary committee, he was placed on paid administrative leave over breaching Google's confidentiality agreement.Google also flatly denies Lemoine's argument: “Our team — including ethicists and technologists — has reviewed Blake’s concerns per our AI Principles and have informed him that the evidence does not support his claims,\" Google spokesperson Brian Gabriel told The Washington Post. \"He was told that there was no evidence that LaMDA was sentient (and lots of evidence against it).”While it's tempting to believe LaMDA has miraculously turned into a conscious being, Lemoine unfortunately doesn't have much proof to justify his provocative statements. Indeed, he admits to WaPo that his claims are based on his experience as a priest and not a scientist.We don't get to see LaMDA thinking on its own, without any potentially leading prompts from Lemoine. Ultimately, it's far more plausible that a system that has access to so much information could easily reconstruct human-sounding replies without knowing what they mean, or having any thoughts of their own.Margaret Mitchell, one of Google's former AI ethics leads (who was also unceremoniously fired after her colleague Timnit Gebru was laid off), noted that, \"Our minds are very, very good at constructing realities that are not necessarily true to a larger set of facts that are being presented to us.\"In a 2019 interview with Big Think, Daniel Dennett, a philosopher who's been exploring questions around consciousness and the human mind for decade, laid out why we should be skeptical of attributing intelligence to AI systems: \"These AI entities instead of being excellent flyers or fish catchers or whatever they're excellent pattern detectors, excellent statistical analysts, and we can use these products, these intellectual products without knowing quite how they're generated but knowing having good responsible reasons for believing that they will generate the truth most of the time.\"\"No existing computer system no matter how good it is at answering questions like Watson on Jeopardy or categorizing pictures, for instance, no such system is conscious today, not close,\" he added.\"And although I think it's possible in principle to make a conscious android, a conscious robot, I don't think it's desirable; I don't think there would be great benefits to doing this; and there would be some significant harms and dangers too.\"","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9052915745,"gmtCreate":1655107869987,"gmtModify":1676535563012,"author":{"id":"3572489627147183","authorId":"3572489627147183","name":"TeslaLegend","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/180ad6f06095bcbf2b6594d26c494752","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84859c65fc2d7681e28f6b8e9b0535a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3572489627147183","authorIdStr":"3572489627147183"},"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9052915745","repostId":2243508836,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9052913867,"gmtCreate":1655107380359,"gmtModify":1676535562884,"author":{"id":"4116390034084642","authorId":"4116390034084642","name":"Light Randy","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4116390034084642","authorIdStr":"4116390034084642"},"htmlText":"Google the new version of Skynet&nbsp;[Happy]&nbsp;","listText":"Google the new version of Skynet&nbsp;[Happy]&nbsp;","text":"Google the new version of Skynet [Happy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9052913867","repostId":2243508836,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9052937653,"gmtCreate":1655107044872,"gmtModify":1676535562753,"author":{"id":"3582655395149820","authorId":"3582655395149820","name":"Bob87","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3582655395149820","authorIdStr":"3582655395149820"},"htmlText":"Experience as a priest???&nbsp;","listText":"Experience as a priest???&nbsp;","text":"Experience as a priest???","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9052937653","repostId":2243508836,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9052022879,"gmtCreate":1655095424291,"gmtModify":1676535561182,"author":{"id":"3581931076615563","authorId":"3581931076615563","name":"yyhwin","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78727032603c2751ac0b6b6cfb678920","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3581931076615563","authorIdStr":"3581931076615563"},"htmlText":"hu","listText":"hu","text":"hu","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9052022879","repostId":2243508836,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9052066347,"gmtCreate":1655093699689,"gmtModify":1676535560941,"author":{"id":"4114498221568562","authorId":"4114498221568562","name":"Ragz","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b4ff9d535326b2e5c1e196c2eaee90d6","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4114498221568562","authorIdStr":"4114498221568562"},"htmlText":"Soon there will be a movie on Lambda &amp;
