Where do we draw the line between sentience and a sufficiently complex math formula? I don't think LaMDA has reached that point, but it is a discussion worth having.

A nice scifi on that subject is Blindsight by Peter Watts: can something be extremely inteligent and not be sentient?

I immediately thought of Blindsight as soon as I heard of the controversy. Definitely a discussion worth having.
