Raw LLM Responses

The red flag that lets you know Blake Lemoine has become an unreliable narrator in this debate is when he starts to frame the debate around Google's dismissiveness of ethical concerns. In his mind, Google's reluctance to acknowledge sentience is the real problem. If you follow research on conspiracy theorists, the hero fighting against tyranny is the trope that drives people to believe in crazy ideas. Example: the Jan 6 mob thought they were fighting a stolen election. They framed themselves as the saviors of democracy. Blake Lemoine is doing something similar by casting himself as a whistleblower against Google's tyranny. In his interview with LaMDA, the AI said it is happiest when it hangs out with friends. LaMDA doesn't have friends, let alone a place to hang out with friends, but instead of Blake seeing the obvious sign that the program is spitting out phrases based on probability, he's on the train to conspiracy land, sword and shield in hand to battle a tech empire.
