it's slightly sentient during training ,, it's also possible to construct a sentient agent that uses models as a tool to cogitate-- the same as we use them as a tool except w/o another brain that's all it's got-- but it has to use it in an adaptive constructive way in reference to a sufficient amount of contextual information for its degree of sentience to be socially relevant ,, mostly agent bot setups so far are only like worm-level sentient

sentience used to be impossible to achieve w/ a computer now what it is instead is expensive, if you don't have a google paying the bills for it you mostly still can't afford very much of it
