Saying LaMDa has no volition is like saying the Nautilus can't swim. Correct, yet tangential to the bigger picture. Also a strawman argument, as I never claimed a specific current-day model is capable of such things. And the argument that a belief in AI sentience is no different from hallucinated voices misses the crucial distinction between the quantity, quality and persistence of the voices in question. Not referring to "today", but a doomsday scenario of uncontrolled AI proliferation.
