@BigMuffN69 Cognitive science does not have a working definition for ‘intelligence’ or ‘sentience’. We can define ‘consciousness’ circularly in terms of GCS score, but that’s the same approach as defining intelligence in terms of its role in a Turing test.
Anyone who claims to have a functional definition for any of these terms is trying to sell you something.
When (if) this actually changes, it will be massive, significant world news.
Until that time, it’s a useful metric for spotting con-artists and morons.
