We're Getting Worried about this "Conscious" AI

When computers, robots, or even intelligent chairs become sentient in the future, switching them off would be seen as heartless. They could attempt pleading with you to change your mind. However, a genuinely intelligence smart technology may encourage something more extraordinary, if it had a sophisticated grasp of society and human psychology. In the end, you may not be able to turn it off at all.

Does the robot have the capacity for sentience, which would then allow it to have its own free will and decision making? Or is it merely programmed to look human in its behaviour?

At first glance, the AI did a pretty good job of showcasing how human is capable of thinking, feeling and having hopes. But I would still call it imitating the human way of communicating, instead of being an independent sentient being, one that can think on its own. After all, GPT-3 is just a huge database of human knowledge, and it can perfectly simulate human behaviour by imitating what it has seen before.

Additionally, the idea of sentience is not a binary choice. Of course, your levels of intelligence, creativity, self-awareness, and linguistic proficiency might range widely. After all, perhaps the real question would be: how smart must an AI be, for us to begin treating it as a sentient being?
