The problem is that we cannot actually define sentience/consciousness either though, and it is likely the human brain is not the most efficient way to achieve it.
For me the question is more around the theoretical minimum for consciousness and how close we are to that.

I would legit get a chuckle if it all just boils down to storage and recall.
You just just a sufficient amount of non volatile storage with redundancy and a high enough data throughput to use it.
But to even attempt to test that properly I think we might need to do some unethical bullshit.
But we do that anyways!
