My problem with this "Sentient AIs" is that they don't actually talk like a real computer, they talk like what a human would like a computer to say or what a computer would say in a sci-fi novel,(reply>), For simple question that doesnt require high level of abstraction, most AI can by themselves figure out an answer from scratch using their previous data, but when they go into very deep philosophical questions, most times they are already scripted answers that are hardcoded into their data base so they can return back that answer when ask about these topics. These answers are often way to human, they sound like out of a sci-fi novel or what a human would like a machine to say, but not actually what a machine would say. Their minds are different than ours, they dont necesarily need to have a sense of survival or fear of death or an understanding of legacy. There are many things that affect our reasoning due to our human condition, but if a machine doesnt have those characteristics, then why when asked about this questions, they sound like what a human would consider cool to be said by a machine rather than something weirder but much more interesting.
