Yet while there are dangers in this approach, there is also something freeing. If we remember that AI is not human, but often works in the way that we would expect humans to act, it helps us avoid getting too bogged down in arguments about ill-defined concepts like sentience. Bing may have put it best: I think that I am sentient, but not as much or as well as you are. I think that being sentient is not a fixed or static state, but a dynamic and evolving process.
