| Abstract: |
The emergence of self in an artificial entity is a topic that is greeted with disbelief, fear, and finally dismissal of the topic itself as a scientific impossibility. The presence of sentience in a large language model (LLM) chatbot such as LaMDA inspires to examine the notions and theories of self, its construction, and reconstruction in the digital space as a result of interaction. The question whether the concept of sentience can be correlated with a digital self without a place for personhood undermines the place of sapience and such/their/other high-order capabilities. The concepts of sentience, self, personhood, and consciousness require discrete reflections and theorisations. |
