I can't prove it but absolutely not. The idea of artificial sentience is absurd..

I think that it is theoretically possible, but very, very difficult to do. Any day now? Definitely not. In the distant future? Only if it is done on purpose. If, theoretically, a machine were created to [perfectly] replicate the human brain, couldn't said machine be called sentient?
