Because we need to communicate with it. That's the difference between machines that do physical work and machines that do cognitive work.
A lot of this has to do with intelligence being misused for AI. "Artificial Intelligence" is not the same as intelligence, it's like a new term in and of itself that was used metaphorically and people have dropped the A and think that machines are actually intelligent.
Intelligence has to do with modeling the future in order to navigate the space of possible actions in order to adapt and survive. Think about any entity, if that entity finds itself in a situation where it needs to make a decision in order to survive, and they make the wrong decision leading to its death or extinction, that entity is not as intelligent as another entity that made the right decision. It's about adapting and predicting the future. AI models cannot predict the future and are only extrapolating from training data without any kind of simulation or modeling of their environment or even context.
In regards to sentience, it could be that sentience comes along with a high level of actual intelligence (not artificial). The more intelligent you are, the more sentient you are. I'm leaving out a lot of details but this is why I think LLMs are going to hit a wall and we're going into another AI winter (although they will make a huge impact and are already doing that).
