PREDICTOR
William E Hanbury

CHALLENGER
Ansgar J Brenninkmeijer

STAKES $400

will go to Ocean Cleanup if Hanbury wins,
or Lifeboat Foundation if Brenninkmeijer wins.

Hanbury's Argument

Given the case of Blake Lemoine who was fired from Google for claiming their AI chatbot was sentient and the advances from ChatGPT I think we are close...

Brenninkmeijer's Argument

A great prediction. I am not sure, but will challenge. The protest should not be in jest, like the "Birds aren't real." protests in 2022.

Detailed Terms

Evidence will be either photographic/video evidence, or a news article citing over 100 people at the protest.
