Pretty sure ants are already sentient, but I like it.

Edit: apparently ant sentience is somewhat hotly debated, and the current understanding of ant consciousness and metacognition is murky.

Honestly, people getting sentient/sapient messed up in fiction is one of my pet peeves, and here I go doing it myself.

I love that you came back and added that edit, that's some commitment to keeping us up to date on the latest scientific breakthroughs about ant brains (I mean, I'd they have one?) and I appreciate it.

Edit: ants do in fact have (tiny) brains.
