People who regularly talk to AI chatbots often start to believe they're sentient, says CEO

Numerous people start to believe they're interacting with something sentient when they talk to AI chatbots, according to the CEO of Replika, an app that allows users to design their own virtual companions.

"We're not talking about crazy people or people who are hallucinating or having delusions," the company's founder and CEO, Eugenia Kuyda,last month when he said he believed one of the company's language models was conscious. Blake Lemoine was largely ridiculed, but he doesn't seem to be alone in anthropomorphizing AI.
