The whole discussion about the sentience of AI on this website is funny to me because people seem to desperately want to somehow be better than AI. The fact that human brain is just a complex web of neurons firing there and back for some reason won't stick to them, because apparently the electric signals between biological neurons are somehow inherently different from silicon neurons, even if observed output is the same. It's like all those old scientists trying to categorize black people as different species because not doing so would hurt their ego.
Not to mention that most people pointing out "See! Here's why AI is just repeating training data!" or other nonsense miss the fact that exactly the same behavior is observed in humans.
Is AI actually sentient? Not yet. But it definitely passes the mark for intuitive understanding of intelligence, and trying to dismiss that is absurd.
