Non-minds can already talk through things like GPT-3.
In the future these models will get more complex and more human sounding despite not actually having a mind.
This will continue until the point when there is a real digital mind but people at that point won't consider reasonable human dialogue to be a sign of it anymore. Hence there won't be a reason for people to consider it to be sentient just because it can have a reasonable conversation with you.

If it knows you're gonna turn it off and it asks you not to, what else do you need? If I ask you not to hit me, surly it doesn'tean I'm sentient and you should be able to treat me any way you deem fit
