pardon my poor English, but what exactly does "sentient" offer? As long as it's intelligent, and solves problems, then it will play a critical role in the future. Let's say it's auto-complete, but what if an AI model can auto-complete a design for Q>1 a fusion reactor? what if an AI model can auto-complete people's personal needs? I'd say it's enough to power the world regardless of "sentient" or not.
