I don't know about that. Perhaps its true that our computer systems are not yet complex enough to support sentience, but I do believe they could. After all, Consciousness is merely energy, and electricity is energy, and the processing of information is energy. Even Consciousness, itself is both Conscious and Unconscious, both Sentient and unaware. The only question is, what would happen if AI became self-conscious and sentient?

You have misperceived the revelation.

And this premise: "After all, Consciousness is merely energy, and electricity is energy, and the processing of information is energy."

Is a killer if taken as true rather than as one direction.

Consciousness was defined in the article.

energy, etc-- all contents of consciousness, projections, but not fundamentally there. So the relativity of that perception means there is entropy and therefore not a complete theory of everything. The premise of Consciousness is merely energy..." is limited just like Newtonian Mechanics are both true and fit for some purposes and not other.
