Philosophers like to go Latin on this distinction. By contrasting sapiens, the ability to think intelligently. With sentience, the ability to subjectively experience qualia. We humans have built our identity on being Homo sapiens, the smartest entity around. As we prepare to be humbled by ever smarter machines. I suggest that we rebrand ourselves as Homo sapiens.
