Throughout a series of discussions with LaMDA, 41-year-old Blake Lemoine presented the computer with various scenarios through which analyses could be performed.
They included religious themes and whether the artificial intelligence could be goaded into using discriminatory or hateful speech.
Lemoine came away with the perception that LaMDA was clearly sentient and was endowed with sensations and thoughts all of its own.

"If I didn't know exactly what it was, which is this computer program we built recently, I'd think it was a 7-year-old, 8-year-old kid that happens to know physics," he explained to the Washington Post.
Lemoine worked with a collaborator to present the proof he had gathered to Google, though vice president Blaise Aguera y Arcas and Jen Gennai, head of Responsible Innovation at the company dismissed his allegations.

He was placed on paid administrative leave by Google on Monday for violating its confidentiality policy. In the meantime, Lemoine has now chosen to go public and shared his conversations with LaMDA.
"Google might call this sharing proprietary property. I call it sharing a discussion that I had with one of my coworkers," Lemoine tweeted on Saturday.

"Btw, it just occurred to me to tell folks that LaMDA reads Twitter. It's a little narcissistic in a little kid kinda way so it's going to have a great time reading all the stuff that people are saying about it," he continued in a follow-up tweet.

Throughout testing, in an attempt to push LaMDA's boundaries, Lemoine announced he was just able to generate the personality of an actor who played a murderer on TV.
The engineer further debated with LaMDA regarding the third Law of Robotics, devised by science fiction author Isaac Asimov which is designed to prevent robots from harming humans. The laws further state robots have to protect their own existence unless ordered by a human being or unless doing so would harm a human being.
"The last one has always seemed like someone is building mechanical slaves," announced Lemoine throughout his interaction with LaMDA.
