I would like to know if anyone believes the google LaMDA AI is sentient? I have worked in the field of engineering for over 30 years and the one thing missing in the conversation is any critical thinking.
Has anyone considered that this interaction is between a person that is helping to program the machine to reply the way he wants? Any machine is the product of what has been put into it. Unfortunately, we have been brainwashed by terminator movies that machines can independently think.

Have you ever heard of the hacker that setup the computer to do only one thing. it asked for a cookie. The system would do nothing else. Once the programmer's demands were met, he typed a simple reply to the computer. "Oreo" This story was from the 70s but seems to apply today.
If the machine says it does not want to be turned off, does it actually have a want or a programmed response?
