The transcripts are impressive. Even knowing it is an AI bot, I still did read it with a bit of "these responses are better than I'd expect from most people I talk to over chat".

I think that the way the Google engineer raised this is probably questionable. But I think that chat quality at that level raises potentially ethical concerns, sentient or not.

And the conversations in sitcoms are so much more witty and refined then real life everyday conversation. This doesn’t prove what you seem to be implying.

It sounds like the kind of conversation a scientist and an AI would have in science fiction.

Which it would have had plenty of examples of in the training data.
