I think the test of sentience should have at least this criteria:
- Understanding of the passage of time
- Independent activity, without prompts
- Has self understanding of it's current inputs, like a camera
I don't think that's a full list, but to me the transcription really indicates that LaMDA responds to user prompts with reasonably relevant responses, but it gives me no indication that the system has a self awareness.
I think a good test would be to ask it the same non-mathematical question several times in a row, and see if there is any awareness of the same question, or if the answer change. Like if I asked LaMDA it's favorite color, can it name a color, and tell me that answer consistently? Does it know that I've already asked it, and give answers that seem frustrated after a while?
