You can't even define sentience so what makes you so sure which other things do or don't have it?

- fnordpiglet 3y agoMore to the point, who cares? Whatever it is, it’s emergent properties are amazing. The “is it sentient” stuff distracts from the miracle.

- coffeefirst 3y agoThat's kind of the point. There's a pretty long history of humans talking to trees, rivers, tombstones, cool looking mountains, and household shrines. We'll anthropomorphize anything. This is not a bad thing, but it's a very predictable thing. We're making inanimate objects simulate talking to you, and we're going to see consciousness when it's not there.
