If you've seen his interview you know its not sentient. Or at least, its very unlikely to be. Not to say Google wouldn't want to make a hyperintelligent digital slave, but this chat bot really isn't there. This Blake person was just kind of a nut, they also believed in "Christian Mysticism" and stuff.
