There's arguments for it, there's also the argument that sentience just comes with adding senses like vision and hearing to an intelligent enough model. And consciousness may just be a certain level of intelligence, as in we may not have a choice when exploring AGI.

But who knows.

While we may not know for sure the argument that a sufficiently advanced latent network results in consciousness lines up with the complexities of our brains compared to other brains in the animal kingdom, no?

Would it really make a difference though? Whether or not consciousness appears at a certain point doesn't change the AI's capabilities

No idea, it's too theoretical to really discuss. I would assume that sentience/consciousness would have a major impact on the AI's abilities. It would also probably have a profound impact on the AI's motivations. You're now "gifting" the AI with the ability to choose what it want's to do based on it's own rationale and emotion.

Ahh, personally I don't believe in free will so I guess we'll have to wait and see
