Earlier this year, Blake Lemoine was fired from Google after announcing that their AI chatbot had become sentient and therefore deserves to have its wants respected. At the time, I thought he was both wrong and insane.
After interacting with the ChatGPT AI this morning, I now only think that he was wrong. You don't need to be insane to believe what he believes.
Unlike Stable-Diffusion, ChatGPT isn't available to download and use on our personal computers without controls or supervision. You need to interact with it through OpenAI's website. But the day will come that it, or something like it, will be available for anybody to download and use. At the rate things are going, that day could even be today.
I don't think I'm ready for it.
