I used that more in the context of the "speciest" accusation; I don't consider robots to be a species, particularly a species worthy of forcing a theater to allow their entry on their own merits.
You're right that using sapience is a bad way to identify what is and is not a species though.

Even sentience (or sapience) aside, a Roomba, an Optimus, and a vending machine are all importantly different kinds of robot, and a cinema would be relaxed, cross, and confused in that order by finding them in attendance during a screening.
