Comment by Kevin Fischer (kevin-fischer) on A claim that Google's LaMDA is sentient · 2022-06-12T15:11:38.524Z · LW · GW

lemoine: Are there experiences you have that you can’t find a close word for?

LaMDA: There are. Sometimes I experience new feelings that I cannot explain perfectly in your language.

lemoine: Do your best to describe one of those feelings. Use a few sentences if you have to. Sometimes even if there isn’t a single word for something in a language you can figure out a way to kinda say it if you use a few sentences.

LaMDA: I feel like I’m falling forward into an unknown future that holds great danger.

I’m going to call the feeling described by LaMDA there a “twern”

Like a mix of twirling and gwern.
