"feel, react to their environment", if that's your standard for sentience, no more @eigenrobot burgers for you

this is what sentience means. you may be confusing it with sapience, which is a more demanding requirement.
-
hmm, what's sapience?
-
having the kind of mind that a human has. a conscious mind, with self-reflection.
-
alright, I'm used to seeing sentience mean ~"having subjective experience/awareness" sense of consciousness.
-
this is also how I've always understood the term
-
yes, that's the correct definition. "ability to feel and perceive. possessing a subjectivity." plants have this. they are not like rocks. sapience augments sentience with "wisdom", the ability to form judgments through premeditation.
-
I do not think plants have a subjective experience in the sense that I possess one, which has nothing to do with judgment or premeditation

don't worry, soon we'll be able to upload all living things and finally put a stop to this suffering. until then, do the best you can; less suffering is always better than more suffering
