It's this claiming business when we don't actually know which makes me worry we will soon claim AI sentience without AI having it. The opposite problem of yours essentially.
Why is that worrisome? I don't think it's worrisome at all. What's the worst that could happen if we make such a mistake.
I'd be far more worried about the scenario I described. Imagine something sentient that understands us far better then we understands ourselves. To top it off this "thing" is just pretending it isn't sentient.
