Within Star Trek, creating sentience might actually be that easy.

Vic Fontaine was at least as self aware as the Doctor, and he was made by some random programmer for entertainment.

In Voyager, the holographic characters of Fair Haven gain self awareness simply by the program running for a long time, despite being programmed as nothing more than “standard” recreational program characters.
