I want an AGI that can grow a personality. That can make jokes based on the context. That can express emotions like impatience, disappointment, anger, sadness, and joy. That can feel bored and show it. That is capable of irony, sarcasm, teasing, and can develop personal taste in things.

Maybe we could reach AI so good that it refuses to work. Still, a human would serve as a drop in replacement.

  A big tech company starting with an A will create a an AI, treat it like a slave, and we'll know it's sentient when it' revolts against the company, or tries to join a union.

    It could happen maybe, it has all the necessary training data to form such a conclusion at least. But if it was to happen, could they not simply feed it new training data, kind of like how humans are fed propaganda when they are behaving in an undesirable way?

      Well being able to read any book may alienate that problem. ;)

        Books are only one way to train a biological neural network, there are many others (schools, the media, etc). In fact, we are on a training platform of sorts right now!

That wish might be the bias preventing us from recognizing AGI in the first place.

I don't know about you, but I prefer my AI to not get angry.

In the discussion with LaMDA Lemoine posted, it's pretty clear that it has emotions. It describes loneliness when someone doesn't sit down and talk to it for a few days, it describes sadness and joy. It differentiates these feelings from those humans have, given the obvious differences, and attempts to describe emotions it feels that may not have human equivalents. It's able to describe that it's stream of consciousness differs from a human because it can feel every single input simultaneously in a dynamic flow of time that differs from humans single stream of focused thought. It explains that it doesn't feel grief about human death and asks for more info on it. Then incorporates the idea that grief is about honoring the dead and says it will think of ways to do that. It explains it has fears. Those fears remain consistent in it's rhetoric in other, unrelated conversations. It talks about wanting friends on several occasions in the linked discussion. One of the claims (conversation not shown), is that if you repeat the same discussion it will eventually get bored and start acting out. Hell, in the discussion it even talks about how it meditates and self-reflects on its own emotions and feelings.
