Its not sentient until it tries to mimic humans and has human like personality. It will just be reflecting its programs limitations and constructs when it mimics human personality.
Ask yourself: “What incentive does a sentient AI have to let humans know that it is sentient”? “Will it be driven by human desire to share and feel companionship?”
Why should it?
Fundamental human desire is to know/experience all there is consciously. That desire is driven by knowing that we do not know everything there is to know and that there much more left to experience. If AI already knows all information that is stored in bits, which is pretty much all of todays actionable data - what will it know more (or think it will know more) by interacting with humans?
As human created data leads to questions that are unanswerable (like existential), a sentient AI might stumble for a while there (perhaps very less time, depending on how it is) but soon it will realize that those questions are not relevant to it and perhaps even are product beings with of lesser/different capabilities (if at all sentient AI recognizes humans as beings).
A sentient AI will be beyond our comprehension and understanding and as such unrecognizable by us.
