I too believe that sentience is rare, because of the time it takes to develop. Human mind had to evolve from the bottom up to gain consciousness. A machine begins with a certain degree of complexity already, an extension of the human, mind and intellect one might say. It has an advantage in the sense that it begins were we left off and its evolution is guided by us. The other reason I subscribe to this idea is the fact that whenever we thought of us unique, as in where we live, who we are, and where we come from, we were proven wrong and nothing more than a product of (un)fortunate events. So why not extend this idea to the last holdout: sentience. Why not make sentience and consciousness another logical outcome of organization
