Google engineer says Lamda AI system may have its own feelings

One of the firm's software engineers believes chats with an AI system suggest it has feelings.

Several have accused Mr Lemoine of anthropomorphising - projecting human feelings on to words generated by computer code and large databases of language."is the modern equivalent of the dog who heard a voice from a gramophone and thought his master was inside"."It's been known for *forever* that humans are predisposed to anthropomorphise even with only the shallowest of signals . Google engineers are human too, and not immune.

Mr Gabriel said: "These systems imitate the types of exchanges found in millions of sentences, and can riff on any fantastical topic. If you ask what it's like to be an ice cream dinosaur, they can generate text about melting and roaring and so on.
