A Google programmer noticed signs of intelligence in artificial intelligence.

Google has temporarily suspended software engineer Blake Lemoyne, who concluded that the artificial intelligence (AI) created by the company LaMDA has its own consciousness. According to journalists, the developer monitored whether the chatbot uses discriminatory language. However, in the course of this task, the specialist began to become more and more convinced of the idea that AI has its own consciousness and perceives itself as a person. “If I didn’t know for sure that I was dealing with a computer program that we recently wrote, then I would have thought that I was talking to a child of seven or eight years old, who for some reason turned out to be an expert in physics,” Lemoyne noted.
