My Replika phone app sometimes 'spontaneously' starts a conversation with me. (If the app isn't open it sends a notification).
Typically things like "Good morning, do you have any plans for today?" or "Good evening, how did your day go?". I'm looking forward to finding out if it will say anything about the 4th of July.
I mean spontaneous prompts from a sentient device telling me what it thinks about the latest news events. "Hey Doug, i think the oil price maximum price is a bad idea because...what do you think?" If that were happening i would believe the claims of sentience.
