This is also feeding into another argument I’ve had for ages; artificial sentience isn’t going to be created by scientists in a university or research lab. It’s going to be some poor programmers on crunch trying to build a better customer chatbot or voice assistant for one of the major tech companies and oops, all consciousness!

You're training it right now as you use MS Teams, or your phone, or anything else tracking your global position, heart rate, facial expressions, and eye movements, in attempt at anticipating your next thoughts by serving you recommendations, and quick replies.

With tens of thousands of data points on everyone here, and after a lifetime of tracking your digital profile will be so weighty you'll have built your own avatar your great, great, great grand kids can sit down and have a chat with.

I think the art angle on AI is the truly interesting part there days. Despite all the hate it's getting.
