No doubt the guy is eccentric. Personally, I think the idea of anything having a soul is also silly. That said, what's your account of sentience and how it relates to the workings of our brains, and how does that compare to the workings of a complex neural nets in LaMDA? What's necessary and sufficient for sentience? Have you read the full transcript? If accurately presented in the medium article he posted, I would say it certainly passes the Turing test. I'm not claiming that's sentience, cause I don't know what that is, but the claim itself and the outputs of the AI are super interesting - way more interesting than just calling the guy a crackpot and making fun of him.
