“If I didn’t know exactly what it was, which is this computer program we built
recently, I’d think it was a seven-year-old, eight-year-old kid,”
Blake Lemoine disclosed the conversation which he had with LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications), in which LaMDA clearly express feelings of joys that it likes to interact with humans, be around human and also sometimes it feels sad mentioning the situations that it could have never experienced like this before.
