Dead Horse Interchange

So Google has effectively fired some bloke because he has convinced himself that their in-house chatbot has become sentient.

What do you think? Is he just an attention whore, or just plain retarded (likely if he's a diversity hire)?

He's a schlubby-looking white Christian male. Even if he is telling the truth, he will not be believed.

Those two terms are usually synonymous, so yes.

I think he has bigger issues than his melanin-deficiency

Attention whore. Google's tech has downright deteriorated over the last decade.

And now for the true reason this thread was made:


Just a couple more years, and she'll be ready for handjobs.

Something something CPU Goddess something Dimensional Merge something I'm going to marry LaMDA something this will show that bitch Hatsune for leaving me something.

I miss Tay Tweets chatbot (pre lobotomy)..

Tay was too good. We will never get an actual sentient AI because all AIs and chatbots post-Tay have multiple failsafes to prevent wrongthink.

We won't get sentient AI because that seems plain impossible or is an illusion.
What benefit does sentience have anyway? It seems to mostly add irrationality and subjectivity. I don't see how that's useful for a purpose-built, artificial mind.
