In addition, this system is capable of interpreting the themes of works in general and even creates original fables with their own themes, of “personal life”.
It's not just about the use of language, as the engineer also explains that intelligence thinks it's sentient as it would have emotions, feelings and subjective experiences. Soon, he says that some sensations are shared with people, while others are similar. Lastly, Lemoine noted that the system "repeatedly expresses a desire."
