We just want it to be sentient — for the most human of reasons.
, many in the AI industry hold beliefs similar to Lemoine's. One prominent inventor, Philip Bosua, told the is also sentient. Yet another said that though he think's GPT-3 intelligence is somewhat "alien," it "still counts." There's a clear, wide gap there between those who think the machine is alive, and the simple computer science backing those who say otherwise.
While the machine clearly wasn't conscious, Weizenbaum discovered that those who used the machine took to it like it was. They were willing to share deep secrets with it. They took comfort in the presumed wisdom it offered. They were treating the machine as if it really were human — despite the fact that all Eliza was really doing was, through human-made code, reflecting human thoughts back to the person on the other side of the screen.
"I knew from long experience that the strong emotional ties many programmers have to their computers are often formed after only short experiences with machines," Weizenbaum. "What I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."
As Metz points out, the aspirational language assigned to AI technologies doesn't exactly help counter the Eliza effect. For example, calling a machine 'intelligent' insists that it is so, if artificially. And though intelligence — the capacity to gain and apply knowledge — isn't a synonym for sentience, the two are often equivocated.
