The key problem is not the belief in sentience but the hysteria and potential knee jerk reactions that widespread adoption of this belief may cause.
Can you imagine if laws were passed affording algorithms "human rights" or regulations created to ensure that your fancy machine learning recommender system did not pass a certain "sentience threshold"?
