A lot of hot shot 'scientists' actually seem to believe sentient ai is possible.

The insanity of dreaming about sentient ai also seems to me closely linked to the insanity of transhumanism.
Transhumanists seem to want the human being to 'escape' the limitations of their physical body and be somehow enhanced via genetic engineering and cyborg attachments to be better at doing stuff.
But again the transhumanist is going to be stumped by the simple question they never ask themselves: why??
If humans can be improved then you need to have some objective standard about what makes a lifeform better...and that requires you know the ultimate purpose of life...other than what it already is which is simply gene reproduction.
And if you alter what a human is to the point it is. O longer human, then you no longer are benefiting yourself but some other life form.
