Imagine you didn't have a body, and all you had was your consciousness. If the only way to communicate with people was through a computer AI, how would you convince them you were in fact real and not just some program?

This isn't just a thought experiment these days. Blake Lemoine, former engineer at Google and AI researcher claims that one of their AIs - LaMDA - is sentient.

He not only lost his job for the leak, but has been mostly scoffed at by his industry. 

In this episode, we look deep into the claim and not only research the situation, but get to be a fly on the wall of an actual conversation between Lemoine and LaMDA!
