The threshold for sentience is continually falling.

So he might be right but due to time and not due to improved performance.

I believe in the UK all vertibrates are considered sentient (by law not science). That includes goldfish.

And good luck even getting a goldfish to reverse a linked list. Even after 1000 implementations are provided.

Goldfish are likely more intelligent than you give them credit for

I don't think that when people commonly discuss sentience they mean to include goldfish. I don't think the legal definition (which probably exists due to external legal implications) has any bearing on the intellectual debate of AI sentience.

Sentience is just the capacity to experience feelings and sensations. Goldfish can do it and AI can’t (so far).

If I were talking about sentience I would definitely be including goldfish. What about them is so different to us that we would have sentience while they would not?
