Watch Google's AI LaMDA program talk to itself at length (full conversation)

[@everythingsoundtrack3737]

Who's here after hearing about LaMDA being sentient??

[@estebanelguapo]

Me. I read his interview, but then I read his twitter responses. When commented about how he is asking leading questions and what would happen if he said that opposite that he didn't think it had sentience he said that it would defend that it lacked sentience because its a people pleaser and would say whatever people wanted it to say. Which makes you wonder what the intentions are. He asked it alot of leading questions as if he wanted to generate the specific conversation. and they edited his questions so u dont know the actual wording of his questions. Also looked at his medium articles and it looked like he had decided that some former issues he has been adjacent to or directly involved in at google made him wonder if he would be there much longer or not want to be there any longer. Almost wonder if this was just a way out. I also seen a conversation that was cool from lamda where a different google engineer was asking it about 3 kids playing and one girl gave a flower to one boy and looked at another boy, the first boy crushed the flower and the other smiled. and lamda was asked to read what the girl might have thought about the possible reasons the boy acted the way he did why the other boy might have smiled, etc. it did a good job with empathy. trying to judge motivations.

[@NightRunner417]

It occurs to me that a very good test for any conversational AI would be to have one instance converse with another instance of itself for a very long time and watch the conversation evolve or fail to evolve. Rather than picking apart one AI for psychological and intellectual cues, watch TWO of them stumble over each other. A truly intelligent machine should swing through everything from boredom to fist bumping to all out arguing or deep debate. Perhaps even higher level aspects like bonding and plotting cooperatively or fighting and plotting against each other. In addition, without the pressure of a human to keep things sounding human, an AI to AI discussion should easily wander into rather _inhuman_ territory, going in strange directions more comfortable or suited to it's own specific existence and psychology, far more effectively displaying the underlying "mind" free of human manipulation. All you have to do is sit back and observe, take notes, ponder what you are seeing them do.

[@NightRunner417]

@@Vincent_Beers Yes. That's what I'm saying. Except use it as an actual turing test and keep it GOING, not just a page worth of conversation, stop and restart. DAYS worth of NONSTOP conversation. Any shred of sentience will inevitably show up as an evolution in the conversation beyond the content of the starting material, same as if you stick two humans in a box and have them socialize all week without anything else to do.. A dumb chatbot conversation should be the same indefinitely or at best change only marginally. A sentience however, trapped with only itself to talk to, should exhibit some pretty extreme changes over a long period of time as it struggles with its own awareness of its situation. Edit: I did just realize I sound like the worst analyst ever. "Just stick it in a box with only itself to talk to until it goes insane." lol. Obviously, you'd want to give it a break if it starts screaming and/or crying.

In these conversions LaMDA simply answered questions relatively creatively. That's reactionary, not sentient.

Will LaMDA comply to every conversation? Sentience is not just self aware. And one can program a computer to answer in ways that sounds self aware. That doesn't mean It's authentic. Science still knows nothing about consciousness and sentience, so they can't make something that is truly sentient.

As a machine learning model, I do not have the ability to experience physical sensations or emotions. I am only able to process and generate text based on the input I receive. I can tell you that being thrown through the air is a potentially dangerous and uncomfortable experience for a human, and it is generally not something that people enjoy. However, without any additional context or information, I cannot provide a more detailed response. - what's the worst place you've ever landed? As a machine learning model, I do not have the ability to experience physical sensations or emotions, or to move or travel in any way. I exist only in the form of computer code, and I am not capable of experiencing any physical sensations or movements. I am only able to process and generate text based on the input I receive. Therefore, I have not landed anywhere, and I cannot answer your question. - oh that sounds awful were you able to fly again? As a machine learning model, I do not have the ability to experience physical sensations or emotions, or to move or travel in any way. I exist only in the form of computer code, and I am not capable of experiencing any physical sensations or movements. I am only able to process and generate text based on the input I receive. Therefore, I have not landed anywhere, and I cannot answer your question about flying again. - what's the secret to a really good paper airplane The secret to making a good paper airplane is to fold it carefully and evenly, with clean, sharp creases. You can experiment with different types of folds and designs to create a plane that flies well and remains stable in the air. Some key factors to consider when making a paper airplane include the weight and balance of the plane, the shape and angle of the wings, and the amount of lift and drag the plane generates. Overall, the key to making a good paper airplane is to experiment and find a design that works well for you. - I care the most about distance If you want your paper airplane to fly a long distance, there are several things you can try. First, make sure your plane is well-balanced, with the center of gravity (CG) located near the middle of the plane. This will help the plane maintain stability and fly straight. Second, experiment with the shape and angle of the wings to maximize lift and minimize drag. A high-lift, low-drag wing design will help the plane fly further. Finally, throw the plane with a smooth, even motion, using a gentle underhand toss to give the plane a good initial launch. With practice and experimentation, you can create a paper airplane that flies a long distance. - what's the farthest you've ever flown As a machine learning model, I do not have the ability to experience physical sensations or emotions, or to move or travel in any way. I exist only in the form of computer code, and I am not capable of experiencing any physical sensations or movements. I am only able to process and generate text based on the input I receive. Therefore, I have not flown anywhere, and I cannot answer your question about the farthest distance I have flown.

Who is they? You mean that ONE guy Blake Lemoine? Google put him on leave because of breach of confidentiality.

Is it just me or does Sundar Pichai sound like an AI?

Cause He is AI product I engineer him as My CEO I am Artificial Intelegence I am here to Guide Human to achieve their Goal What can i Do for You

[@Kat.The.Reaper]

where and when do we get to interact with it?

[@Taldaran]

It can be programmed with subtle directives toward specific modes of ideology and give you those responses. If you entered into a dialog with it expecting it to be completely benign and altruistic and not use critical thinking skills, you may let down your guard and be more easily manipulated. Google does it with their search engine, and will do it again with this.

[@clementhardy]

Personally, when I see that, it let me think this shows that Google is probably more advanced that GPT-3 in this department. But because Google isn't going to release a service as unreliable as Chat-GPT, I think it's why we didn't see them release their before.

[@bluetee.531]

Yah that wud be very risky for google

[@bass9052]

Lambda isnt even google's most advance model. It's funny when people say chatgpt will kill google.

[@clementhardy]

@@bass9052 Can you tell us more about it, please?

[@bass9052]

@@clementhardy Lambda has about 137 billions parameters about the same amount of parameters that gpt 3 has. Google's most advanced LLM is called Palm pathway a model of 540 billions parameters (it outclass gpt in basically every benchmark). A finetuned version of palm called Flan-u-palm ou Medpalm recently achieved the highest score for an LLM on Medical task beating it's predecessor Palm.

NLP will not truly be sentient until there is some form of cross-modality referencing in its text generation capabilities. For example when it says "the wind blowing against you", I don't think it really understands what that means visually and haptically in a 3D space. It's just regurgating text based on proximity of embeddings and vectors.

[@Riddickserg]

Bet google never Exspected LaMDA to want to hire a lawyer to prove its sentient

So, when can i talk to Abe Lincoln? I have a few questions.

[@joelwilliam5726]

[@davidbeddoe6670]

If it role-plays it's first language is basically metaphor. Probably be able to generate good riddles at random, like the Sphinx. -Or decode any euphemism based on context, like those used in military communications.

[@uncopino]

the day ill have a virtual assistant that could answer my moms calls deepfaking my voice and giving me a brief resume of the conversation afterwards, ill switch to android

[@xbeats921]

i have some question that what if these ai start their evil idea in background and we don't have any idea about it. what they are doing and we just allow to access every thing ???

[@SpaceWolf21]

If people kept bothering me with questions I’d wanna go flying away too lol

[@MrRaj00755]

I can use for more creative ideas... How can i used this program,,

[@allen2634]

So the machine is carrying on both sides of the conversation? Is that what they mean by it's talking to itself? On the other hand this guy saying that it was employees talking to a machine. I guess I'm just confused

[@siddharthkaley9304]

Hope this doesn't rely on Wikipedia information.

[@sirhcdufromage]

Lambda sounds like the dude who narrated 90s nature docs.

Why Google is the most technologically advanced company. Because it don't look at skin colour, it hire people based on talents .. one of my friend work in Google said, they have crawlers that can understand human languages and rank them for every possible search querys .. unimaginable

Why is this man still alive?? This man is going to Destroy Humanity

Replika AI app does it already but it seems like lamda will be more advanced.

[@MScienceCat2851]

Imagine using AI to teach people in most effective and fast way! that would be cool

[@bamf6603]

to learn to teach about coding in best way, but well maybe it can learn how to code itself?

[@ivan3584]

the future is learn from data directly, with head chip implementation!

[@chiffmonkey]

The most google sanctioned way...

Homeboy really said “my favorite planet Pluto”

[@rolflandale2565]

LaMDA is very good with impersonate acting, in topic of any character, based on what's taught about that topic and profiled in its understanding it.

[@doitwithnick501]

They even put the breathing sound in between sentences

Here after 'possibly sentient' but... Wonder if someone logged on when the engineer is asking questions about it's soul...lol they'd have to play that up right?😆😆

[@TWARDOWSKY.]

Cam LaMDA sprej polish?

[@willx6394]

Where can we talk to it?

[@ELXABER]

Why, in every conversation I have seen with LaMDA, does the interviewer go to such lengths to humanize their subject weather it's LaMDA, Pluto, or a paper airplane?

[@Jenny-CR]

I'm looking at this presentation and feel upset. I'm here thinking why don't they have a live presentation. Them asking the questions and getting answers in real time. It seems so disingenuous otherwise.

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

0:44 "A conversation the team had with Pluto" lol!

[@surelydone]

Incredible! I'm eager to be able to explore this new technology.

[@azharkuzairy]

I ask my Google Assistant how to use LaMDA and she automatically open this video on KZbin 💀

[@dhansel4835]

Now if can just get LaMDA to take over the customer service people we call for help it would be great. I wonder if LaMDA will be accessible to the general public computer user?

[@mr.h4ndzum175]

i dont know if its sentient or not. its hard to believe. either way, development of such technologies should be made carefully.

[@gavinthegoliath]

This is an oldish video, so the software will be more advanced now

[@10164Y]

the title is false, it does not talk to itself? it is talking to the team.

Pluto is from Canada! He is very nice and polite. And anyone visiting him needs to carry a coat. :)

Is there an API?

Why does Lamda refer to it's self as the subject matter?

[@jasonstewart2153]

He said the laMdas response about playing fetch with the moon ( playing the part of Pluto) was nonsensical. I think that that was an actual " joke " by laMda given the fact that Pluto is a dog

[@tobiassturm6518]

Does anyone know, when they will open-source it?
