Seriously, if this can be made at all practical, it will have a weird form of sentience.
We may not consider it “true” sentience, but it will be able to fake it to such a degree that the difference will be irrelevant.
This is not good.
Numerous factors besides the obvious geopolitical are converging to climax in the fulfillment of the biblical Last Day prophecies; among them are AI and computational capacity mounting a Babelesque challenge: ""If...they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." Genesis 11:6
Is your calculator sentient? Is the computer you currently use sentient?
This hardware will be no different other than do all of that faster: search, sort and count...and derivations of those fundamental operations.
