That's an interesting point, and I sure imply sentience when I say intelligence, to a certain degree. I'd argue that GPT-3 does not actually "understand" it's output in any way, it just tricks you into believing it does, for example by having some kind of a short-term memory, or forming coherent sentences. Yet the model has no abstract concept of the things it writes about. It's all just probabilities.
