a) Possessing the power of perception by the senses and/or conscious

b) Characterized by sensation and through consciousness

c) Descriptor for the conscious mind

By this definition, a sentient being is anything that has the power to or capabilities of perception through the five senses, consciously at that. I was surprised when I first caught wind of this story of a chatbot “developing” such abilities. I was intrigued and suspicious about this, as I couldn’t wrap my head around how that was possible.
