I'm still struggling with the question "what is sentience".
Are insects sentient?
If so, could we build less intelligent but sentient AI, on par with insects?
If so, is it unethical to torture such intelligence for fun in simulations?
If we can define or create something as "minimal sentient", the following discussion on ethics would be more clear - since now people are talking past each other with completely different understandings.
