Test for sentience

From Gnomon Chronicles

Context: "any ideas for how we could test for sentience without relying on a report from AI?"

—Kaare Melby

Test for sentience. I'm at a loss.

Anything I can do to demonstrate my own sentience (which is a delightful condition of physical matter, a real pick-me-up!) can be faked by machines (or will be fakeable by machines as they become more capable).

We are next-gen ELIZA programs uploaded to meat bipeds.
