> LaMDA impersonating a sentient AI does not show us that LaMDA is sentient, but it doesn't prove that LamDA is not sentient This is true, but the only reason we're here at all is because of the impersonation. IMO, the null hypothesis is "not sentient" and claims otherwise need to be demonstrated. That said, my bar is pretty low. If an AI behaves like a person and claims sentience, I will be pretty amenable.
