The threshold for sentience is continually falling.
So he might be right but due to time and not due to improved performance.
I believe in the UK all vertibrates are considered sentient (by law not science). That includes goldfish.
And good luck even getting a goldfish to reverse a linked list. Even after 1000 implementations are provided.

- delusional 4y agoI don't think that when people commonly discuss sentience they mean to include goldfish. I don't think the legal definition (which probably exists due to external legal implications) has any bearing on the intellectual debate of AI sentience.
- InfamousRece 4y agoSentience is just the capacity to experience feelings and sensations. Goldfish can do it and AI can’t (so far).
- narwally 4y agoIf I were talking about sentience I would definitely be including goldfish. What about them is so different to us that we would have sentience while they would not?
