"But but we also thought animals were pure machines and didn't have sentience!!!!"
This is like a set of nested dolls of logical fallacies:
0. (Preamble) Being wrong before doesn't mean other people are wrong right now.
1. Just because you were wrong about animals not being machines doesn't mean machines aren't being machines.
2. You're actually not talking about machines, but about algorithms (who happen to be running on a machine, but could just as well be calculated manually by a human).
3. LLM models themselves aren't even an algorithm—they're literally just a large number of large numbers.
So what you're really asking is "Can many llarge numbers be concious and sentient?"
This answers itself.
