It's a great story, and would make a good first act for a movie script. Some kind of tragic comedy, maybe with an uplifting ending? [1].
The other thing going on here is that no-one knows what is sentience, anyway. This attitude of "know it when i see it" is just pretty flimsy, as this whole story is making evident.

Reminds me of "Super" (2010) by James Gunn

I agree, but on the other hand, people don't like having to be constantly making the economical decision about whether to watch something; it's mentally taxing, which is unwelcome when you're trying to relax by watching a movie or a TV show.
It can also prevent one from discovering offbeat content, by making those bets more costly. For example, I quite liked Super[1], but if I had to make to choice to pay $20 beforehand, maybe I'd watch something worse but that I was guaranteed to enjoy.

Sometimes the hovering image of a film doesn't match the title and the imdb entry; for instance, the film "super" showed an image of "Superman/Batman Apocalypse".
