Imagine a perfect simulation of a brain within a computer. It can learn/feel/remember/act/perdict/etc. just like a human brain. Most people would call this simulation sentient. If you took that same simulation but changed the internal structure to something else, but it was still capable of the exact same outputs for given inputs, is it still sentient? A perfect chatbot would be an example of one of these simulations. Your answer to the question isn't really the point here, i'm just trying to clarify the argument.
