The Sensitive Side of Sensing

When people say sentient, it's implied the experience side. I think there is some number of people who think that chat GPT is having an experience or they think or suspect that the Google search engine ishaving an experience. And so if it's understood that sentient means sensing, which is kind of how they've twisted the word. Okay, fine. If that's what we're saying, it means. But if you're then saying, no, it has emotions and feelings? How do you make that leap?"
