Read the original Transformers paper and start coding your own AI from scratch. You’ll soon drop the belief in sentience. Can AI get there? Maybe, but there needs to be lots of thermal noise and quantum level fluctuations for me to even consider it … and no matrix multiplies … and no gradient descent learning process (which has no analogy in any human or animal’s brain.) and no … etc. Real neurons are not just floating point numbers waiting to be multiplied.
