But it's not like this guy some sort of tin foil hat wearing wacko who's like building a girl robot in his basement or something. And it's like, oh, she loves me now. It's not like that at all. He is extremely intelligent. He's very articulate. He obviously knows what he's doing and has been in the development and research of artificial intelligence for a very long time. And he consulted with peers and there's rigorous tests that are done to make this claim
I'm going to be thinking on this one for a while. But the first thoughts that come to mind are typically when we understand personhood, there are boundaries or edges of what that person is, whether we're talking corporation or an individual visual human. And I don't know that we will be able to say that is true of a sentient AI
There is no coding anywhere in the background going to build anything that even remotely resembles real generalized form of ali which can at some point become sentient. So that's kind of the technical or reason why this was almost pure by establishment and I believe rightfully so. The second question that you raised was really assume AI could be sentient, what are the ethical and moral implications? I think that's a really hard question to think about because it is based on an assumption which may or may not ever be possible
