"Never mind that AI - as far as we have seen - does not yet exist."
I disagree. Imagine our world is a chess board. The human will use their intuition to find the best possible move. Whereas the computer, through brute force, will test all possible moves, to determine which provides the best possible outcome. Computers bet the world champion of chess in 1997. Today's more impressive computers could test the intelligence of humans in all fields.
But unlike Descartes, I don't believe sentience is a result of intelligence. Yet films like AI Machina suggest they may well be capable of mimicking sentience.
