    If you continue down to the section on “digital sentience” you will find other sentences that directly contradict your assertions,

    So, then, what are my assertions?

    Please read my comments so far carefully. Do not hallucinate. Do not make assumptions that aren’t in my text. Do not make mistakes.

    Then find those supposed assertions of mine that Wikipedia seems to contradict.

      Well your main assertion was a wildly incorrect definition of sentience.

      You go on to say that (and I’m paraphrasing) “sentience is in the eye of the beholder”, which is also wrong.

      There’s also the implication that you do think computers are sentient, but you haven’t typed that specifically; I know you said you didn’t want assumptions, but this is a fair inference. Someone who wasn’t emotionally invested I the idea of chatbot sentience wouldn’t push back so hard with basically 0 facts to back them up.

      Your final assertion is that the Wikipedia article doesn’t immediately contradict you, which again, it does in the first sentence. You can see my previous comment for that information tho, I’m not retyping it.
