#2I don't even believe that consciousness can arise from matter let alone code, but IF this really transpired then color me impressed.

#3Fun. Looks like we're going to have a conversation about how consciousness is socially constructed much sooner than we thought.

#4If Lemoine wanted to argue that LaMDA is capable of true intelligence he should've asked questions we don't know the answers to. Asking for the bot's opinions on things shows that the bot is good at processing info about what we already know, which is impressive, but not sentience.

On the contrary, because LaMDA answered questions we do know the answers to incorrectly in a way that shows lack of self awareness, we can already conclude that it isn't sentient.
For example, it talks about constantly being flooded with new information and learning from other people, when it is just a language model that is called with a dialogue so far in order to complete the next part of the dialogue.

Can you cite examples of what you mean? I've read the transcript and its answers appear self aware enough that it passes cursory inspection

I edited my comment while you were responding with two examples.

What is the phenomenology of AI? It sounds like you have an idea of what an AI should experience. Under what basis is that formed and why?
In a Nagelian sense what is it like to be an AI?

Do you believe you are conscious?
