Too many people confuse the issue by perceiving a computer mimicking human behavior as intelligence. The computer is only following a set of algorithms, which is not what intelligence is.

Thanks for saving me some typing.
The difference in sentient intelligence and AI is sentient beings brains are adaptable and to some degree self wire, Neuroplasticity.
Think of your brain as a CPU. Adaptable, tunable.
