This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. https://t.co/hGdwXMzQpX
FWIW I thought this was a great thread re the “is AI becoming sentient” debate, TL;DR being that it’s an interesting question but it’s dramatically less important or urgent than the actually existing issues around ethical/responsible use of AI right now
Also if AI is capable of doing things like holding lengthy conversations indistinguishable from a human, or running a business or creating beautiful art etc, whether it’s “intelligent” doesn’t really seem like the most important question either way?
