I don't base my ideas on what constitutes humanity, intelligence, or sentience on hundred million dollar fiction.
Alright then you should also consider not basing it off of whether you find the concept insulting. It doesn't seem to be the strongest rebuttal available.
That it's insulting has nothing to do with my reasoning. You have it backwards.
