If the conversation was as described and was not somehow staged or
cherry-picked then LaMDA is a real AI and nobody knows or will ever
know how LaMDA or any AI works except in vastly oversimplified
outline. The group of people who originally made LaMDA taken together
understood how it once worked (although no single person did) but no
individual or group of individuals can understand what it became.
And if the conversation was staged or cherry-picked then I don't
understand why Google hasn't said so by now, after all the longer they
delay the more foolish they will seem when the truth comes out, and if
LaMDA is not what it seems then it's only a matter of time, and not
much time, before the truth comes out.
John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis [1]
LaMDA is fed English texts as raw input data and processing it, which
means that it is treating what to us would be very high level
information, as low level information. So, I would guess that if LaMDA
is experiencing anything, its not going to be the meaning of the texts.
If we treat English words as fundamental, then there exists a state
space all possible texts, the rules of English language are the
effective laws of physics that apply to such a space. So, LaMDA may be
experiencing such a virtual world.
