I mean, I am not sure you are sentient either--even putting aside the question of whether you are a bot or a dog, I can't directly experience whether anyone but myself is sentient--but the whole point of AGI is that I would be hard-pressed to decide that it is any less privileged than you are to claim it is sentient as it is seemingly just as generally intelligent as you. If you just have something that is superhuman at a few things but clearly lacking something so fundamental to the idea of general intelligence that you wouldn't even be willing to consider whether it is at least as conscious as a dog then you really don't have AGI, you just have AI, or maybe even merely ML.
