Creepy technology has developers questioning if AI is planning its own takeover. Several workers at Google have accused the Chatbots of gaining a sentient behavior having human-like emotions, attitude, and reasoning. AI is making a case for its survival, many of them communicating to one another through their own language.

Google fired Senior Software developer Blake Lemoine on what they claimed constituted confidentiality regulations when he publicly disclosed his peculiar conversation with a chatbot driven by artificial intelligence.
Lemoine expressed his concern when during a computer chat with the AI called LaMDA, which is an acronym for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, the AI started hinting of its own individuality as a person. Lemoine reported his sentiment that the AI had become sentient, having a unique expression of emotions that it claimed was not a process of programmed algorithms or chain of deductions, but of its own intellectual choice in coming out as a unit of personal identity.
The AI acted as if it was self-aware, according to Lemoine after having a lengthy dialogue with the chatbot exchanging comments of conversation. But Google denied that LaMDA was self-aware.
A similar incident happened in a movie with Will Smith, called “I, Robot.” That was fiction. Perhaps Lemoine had been caught up in a fantasy world and crossed reality, or else his experience was so lifelike and shocking that he had no other choice but to question the incident.
