    Don't worry, not so much for you to personally worry about, when pondering such a big question.

      In German a Computer is a 'He'. Are German computers smarter than ours?
      It's more likely that German humans are not as sophisticated when it comes to computers

      Fair point about the pronoun, although that wasn't the point I was making.
      It's the "I-ness" that a computer clearly doesn't have.

              Even monkeys have sentience, we simply just have way better hardware. That leads to a conclusion that sentience is not exclusive to humans.
              If you don't believe me see gorilla talking (with hands) the day it was captured. Crying "it's" mother was killed etc...
