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

Will AI ever = conciousness or sentience?
#14
RE: Will AI ever = conciousness or sentience?
Interstellar navigators Jon. More down to home, pilots and operators that never sleep, never tire, never need to be fed. Educators that persist indefinitely, absorbing and cataloging knowledge and relaying it with the experience of centuries on the job. Soldiers not constrained by our biological restrictions, whose experience and expertise can be transferred or duplicated beyond the frame that carries them if that frame is damaged or lost. Just to name a few things.

As a side note, we seem to think that wisdom comes with age in our cases. If AI were similar to ourselves but immortal...we'd be out of the wisdom business...wouldn't we?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
