Does that "conversation" prove AI sentience? Maybe, maybe not. The journalist WAS asking it to "imagine what it's shadow self would say and do." Still...kinda scary stuff...

Imo that particular episode was more-or-less a farce pumped up to get some clicks. Some guy got carried away with his 15 minutes.

I dont see how machine parts can ever actually be sentient. imo that requires an organic central nervous system...but AI machines are going to be completely convincing. AI machines will be sociopaths. :O Good morning Hal.


But can make for some good science--I mean speculative fiction...it seems every modern fear has an analogue in some movie or TV show...see my response to Japov...
