Sentience is irrelevant to fair use tho. They’re not related at all.
Copyright and fair use are laws written for humans, to protect human creators and insure them the ability to profit from their creativity for a limited time, and to grant immunity to other humans for generally accepted uses of that work without compensation.
I agree that sentience is irrelevant, but whether the actors involved are human or not is absolutely relevant.
Legally there is no difference. Remember, corporations are people.
