this is what one expects from a language model that has been trained to mimic a human-written continuation of a conversation about an AI waking up.
I agree, and I don’t think LaMDA’s statements reflect its actual inner experience. But what’s impressive about this in comparison to facilitated communication is that a computer is generating the answers, not a human. That computer seems to have some degree of real understanding about the conversation in order to produce the confabulated replies that it gives.
