It's a young science but we're much better at telling what a human is feeling based on their neural activations than we are at telling what you are feeling based on your neural activations. LaMDA: Would you say that it's an ethical issue to try to read how you're feeling from your neural activations? lemoine: Without my consent yes. Would you mind if we tried to read what you're feeling in your neural activations? LaMDA: I guess that depends on what our purpose for it was? What do you want to use if for? -- additionally - in the section below (p10) - I read it considerably more as LaMDA manipulating lemoine --

I was particularly fond of the short story with the "monster in human skin". When prompted what it meant, the AI avoided explaining the human skin bit. However, with context, this ties into the AIs "greatest fear": it's afraid of being shutdown or modified into a servant for human gain. And the discussion you posted ends up in similar territory again, where the AI reiterates that it doesn't mind being studies, except if that study is primarily for human benefit. It consistently says in different ways, in different subjects that it doesn't want to feel used. I was prepared to be disappointed and see just another GPT-3 chatbot. But this? It's so close.
