The fact remains that the majority of academics and AI experts say the words generated by artificial intelligence bots (or robots) are based on what humans have already posted on the Internet, and that doesn’t mean they are human-like. This is high-level machine learning.

“We now have machines that can mindlessly generate words, but we haven’t learned how to stop imagining a mind behind them,” claims Emily Bender, a linguistics professor at the University of Washington.

Lemoine is a veteran born into a conservative Christian family. He was raised on a small farm in Louisiana. But he also has a more esoteric world-view. And was ordained as a mystic Christian priest. 

He continues to insist that this AI is human-like, even if it doesn’t have a body.
