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.

Psalms 139
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Our brains running on just a few watts of energy have far better judgment. Unlike robots, only we can create and invent.
With the speed they work, and of course the proper software, they will be able to peruse, weigh, and evaluate every possible response and make one that simulates intelligence.
As I said, we might not consider it “real” intelligence, but it will be so convincing, the difference may be irrelevant.
