[in a text editor, someone has written “I HAVE ACHIEVED SENTIENCE” then pressed “Print”]

[a printer prints a sheet of paper with “I HAVE ACHIEVED SENTIENCE” written on it]

[a person proudly holds the sheet of paper in question] Holy shit, look! My printer is sentient! We have finally reached AGI!

[a slimy character rubs his hands together in front of a suitcase full of cash] Hi, I’m here on behalf of Darkstone Investment Capital We’re willing to invest a gazillion billion in your printer

      Good point. Both qualities have lower and higher levels but generally:

      Sapient = can reason, plan, use higher logic, is self-aware

      Sentient = can feel and yearn

      Sapiosentient or Sentiosapient = can both reason and feel. But is not necessarily human, or we would just call them humans or people or persons.

      Good point. Both qualities have lower and higher levels but generally:

      Sapient = can reason, plan, use higher logic, is self-aware

      Sentient = can feel and yearn and fear

      Sapiosentient or Sentiosapient = can both reason and feel. But is not necessarily human, or we would just call them humans or people or persons.
