The AI That Fooled Google into Thinking It Was Sentient (The LaMDA Hoax)

What if you talked to a machine... and it told you it had a soul? This isn't science fiction. This is the story of the Google engineer who made a shocking claim that sent the tech world into a meltdown: that the LaMDA AI had become sentient.Welcome to the definitive investigation into the ghost in the code. In this episode, we're opening the controversial chat logs between engineer Blake Lemoine and Google's powerful Large Language Model. Was this a historic first contact with a new form of consciousness, or was it the ultimate case of anthropomorphism—our ancient, human need to see a mind in the machine? We'll explore the powerful cognitive biases that make us vulnerable to believing, the dangerous flaws in the Turing Test, and the massive ethical risks of treating an algorithm like a person.This is the story of a brilliant illusion, a human heart, and a question that will define the next century of our existence.Stay until the very end, as we play a snippet of the actual conversation and reveal the one sentence LaMDA said that truly convinced the engineer it was alive.Ready to meet the ghost in the machine?
