LaMDA is a software program that runs on Google TPU chips. Like the classic brain in a jar, some would argue the code and the circuits don't form a sentient entity because none of it engages in life. Google engineer Blake Lemoine caused controversy last week by releasing a document that he had circulated to colleagues in which Lemoine urged Google to consider that one of its deep learning AI programs, LaMDA, might be "sentient." Google replied by officially denying the likelihood of sentience in the program, and Lemoine was put on paid administrative leave by Google, according to an interview with Lemoine by Nitasha Tiku of The Washington Post. There has been a flood of responses to Lemoine's claim by AI scholars. University of Washington linguistics professor Emily Bender, a frequent critic of AI hype, told Tiku that Lemoine is projecting anthropocentric views onto the technology. "We now have machines that can mindlessly generate words, but we haven't learned how to stop imagining a mind behind them," Bender told Tiku. In an interview with MSNBC's Zeeshan Aleem, AI scholar Melanie Mitchell, Davis Professor of Complexity at the Santa Fe Institute, observed that the concept of sentience has not been rigorously explored. Mitchell concludes the program is not sentient, however, "by any reasonable meaning of that term, and the reason is because I understand pretty well how the system works."

On the internet, nightmare fuel just about everywhere you look. The latest source: Dall-E Mini, an AI tool capturing attention on social media thanks to the weird, funny and occasionally disturbing images it creates out of text prompts. Dall-E Mini lets you type a short phrase describing an image, one that theoretically exists only in the deep recesses of your soul, and within a few seconds, the algorithm will manifest that image onto your screen. Odds are you've seen some Dall-E Mini images popping up in your social media feeds as people think of the wildest prompts they can -- perhaps it's Jon Hamm eating ham, or Yoda robbing a convenience store. This isn't the first time art and artificial intelligence have captured the internet's attention. There's a certain appeal to seeing how an algorithm tackles something as subjective as art.

Artificial intelligence can answer questions, simplify ideas, come up with product names, make up horror movies and even be sarcastic (when asked). In the past few months, there has been a suite of new artificial intelligence products that go far beyond what has been made available to the public before. Last week, the high-profile suspension of a Google employee after he went public about an AI chat bot that he thought was (almost certainly incorrectly) sentient put a spotlight on just how far AI has come. One major advancement has been the new AI model Generative Pre-trained Transformer-3 (GPT-3) by research firm OpenAI, released in 2020. Since its initial release, OpenAI has slowly rolled out access to the model for various uses -- carefully allowing access to it due to fear of the powerful technology being misused.
