Artificially intelligent machines are all perception, no sensation; they’ll never be sentient so long as they only process information.
If we don’t understand what sentience is for, we’re likely to see it everywhere. Conversely, once we perceive its practical value, we’ll acknowledge its rarity.
Consciousness evolved to make us feel that life is worth living, a rare perception in this world.
