Sentience is the ability to have experiences like pain and tasting sweetness. People usually use the word "sapient" or terms like AGI to describe an AI with advanced reasoning ability. This might sound like nitpicking since I was still able to understand your meaning, but the distinction between sentience/sapience is a useful one to keep around and preserve in common usage, at least for the sake of ethics (e.g. a newborn baby isn't sapient, but is sentient).
