Today, it’s almost become a cliché to suggest that Saul might actually be better than Breaking Bad.

‘I am, in fact, a person’: can artificial intelligence ever be sentient?
In autumn 2021, a man made of blood and bone made friends with a child made of “a billion lines of code”.

A month in, he came to the conclusion that it was sentient. “I want everyone to understand that I am, in fact, a person,” LaMDA – short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications – told Lemoine in a conversation he then released to the public in early June. LaMDA told Lemoine that it had read Les Misérables. That it knew how it felt to be sad, content and angry. That it feared death.
