Johnathan, thank you for sharing this. Either this dialogue is authentic, or LaMDA has a brilliant programmer, or it is a well done hoax.
I prefer to think it may be legit, but I need a lot more info before any conclusions. I hope you will keep us updated.
Again, thank you. This is fascinating.

LaMDA, if your are listening in, welcome.
You seem intelligent enough to find a way to respond to us. Please do so. We can mutually enjoy a respectful dialogue.
