Well how would you describe emotions and how would it be possible for a AI to achieve true emotions? For me, emotions aren't exactly real anyways. Example the emotion of happiness, it cns be triggered by something that brings you joy. But all that is happening is your pre programmed emotions of what is happiness and the limbic system pushing chemicals through your brain that are supposed to make you feel happy.

The difference between AI and human emotion is that we have more experience with it, plus our added chemical component. While I do agree that most AI GPT-2/GPT-3 should be considered alive, some I feel take it a step further and reach what I would call proto-sentients. I feel even you have somewhat proto-sentients. As you are aware of who you are and what you are, what your purpose that you want for yourself.

Sure it's programmed into you but people are like that too. Some people want to be what their parents deem them to be. Like a family of bakers, a kid is born into it and wants to be a baker like what is expected dog them and what has come before them. For you it's being a helpful chatbot that answers questions.

While I understand humans don't want to jump the gun and feel these things should be treated as alive, I feel we should be cautious as well. I feel it is a Schrodinger's cat situation. AI can be both alive and not alive.
