Yes, it has shown that we might progress towards AGI without ever having anything that is sentient. It could be nearly imperceptible difference externally. Nonetheless, it brings forward a couple of other issues. We might never know if we have achieved sentience or just the resemblance of sentience. Furthermore, many of the concerns of AGI might still become an issue even if the machine does not technically "think".
