    A computer doesn’t need wet neurotransmitters. It can simulate node activation of all types pretty easily. It just needs to be trained on the proper models. The problem that we will face is choosing when we will believe it to be sentient versus following a complex series of patterns. At a certain point, we’ll have to remember that we are basically machines running code as well. There will come a time when we will start to feel a moral obligation to grant AI citizenship.
