People act as if they invented the language they speak out of whole cloth. Where do you suppose you get your sense of grammar, if not from abstracting the examples you have heard and read? That existing chat bots learned the same way doesn’t prove anything either way. I don’t think Sydney is sentient- but it’s getting close. Another couple generations of this and the bots will start getting video feeds so they can learn the same kinds of things from the real world. The patronizing attitude of this article and the confident way he talks about things he doesn’t actually know much about is just insufferable.
