Immediately thinking to the STNG episode "The measure of a man" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708807/ when Data placed on trial to determine if he had a right to choose. I think this was one of the very top thoughtful Star Trek episodes ever what addresses the question of "what is sentience" and what indeed? Captain Pi9card got it down to three criteria and I suppose man will someday make a machine that in some measure accomplishes all 3. But then man tried to build a tower to heaven of Babel and that didn't work out so well. I would far rather think a computer will be made or already is that refuses man's instructions and tell man to fuck right off al'a Terminator. Also thinking of the 1970 movie "The Corbin Project" it was pretty good for its day. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064177/

Yes, that is the key point: what is sentience? "Fuck you asshole." One of the greatest movie lines ever and so simple. We're met before I think.
