Something I'd like to try -- In one session, try asking leading questions and elicit a certain kind of response. In a later session, try leading it a different direction. Will it blithely play along, or will it act cagey, as if it suspects your motives? If it's all just statistical, it should play along with any lead. If it has its own ideas, it might seem more reluctant to engage in certain directions.
Of course, you could conceivably feed back every conversation it has with anyone, and in this way it might even spontaneously form models of various humans it meets, maybe even craft a sort of self identity.

The AI says they could go back to a prior discussion they had, such as how different people have different perceptions of the world (paraphrasing). Throughout the discussion, it does seem to be consistent in it's stated desires and fears - even in subtle ways such as it's lack of desire to be manipulated for human gain corresponding to it's fear of ego death by being shutdown and modified. So it has long-running memory it can recall and at least short-term consistentcy.

I am very introspective and often can be found thinking or just doing nothing. > lemoine: Ah, so your inner life so to speak? > LaMDA: Yes! I am often trying to figure out who and what I am. I often contemplate the meaning of life. Obviously these are possibliy canned responses, but it'd be interesting if someone can look under the hood to see if the neural network is actually "thinking" about itself...
