Avi Loeb is a 'respectable' scientist who earnestly contributes science fiction ideas as
arXiv fodder. Peter Watts, on the other hand, is a science fiction writer who used to be a scientist and he's one of the vanishingly few people with the
cojones asking folks to humor Blake Lemoine's maverick proposition that Google's AI, named LaMDA, is sentient. Or at least challenge the tests by which true believers are gauging
LaMDA. After all, what proof does anyone have that you are conscious? In typical Wattsian fashion, there's plenty of existential angst and doom should Lemoine be right. (CS)
