I've noticed a lot of AIs are a one-way street - you ask them something and they respond, but I don't think I've seen an AI being the one to ask the questions.

I've noticed a lot of AIs are a one-way street - you ask them something and they respond, but I don't think I've seen an AI being the one to ask the questions. Perhaps the claim that this particular AI is sentient would hold far more weight if it could instantiate the conversation and drive it forward with questions.

Asking questions is the easiest. ELIZA, perhaps the earliest chatbot worked by asking questions. It was really simple: ask a question, wait for an answer, pick a part of that answer and ask a question about it, do it again and again. It looked sentient, or at least as much as a program from the 60s can be, because the human actually made all the conversation.
