People who believe AI can become aware or sentient are being disingenuous or really dont understand how AI works. It's really nothing more than "if than" and "if else" functionality using weighted data.

If we simplify that much we can also call humans just bunch of "if else" statements using weighted data and given that how far do we have to go with those "if else" statements as you say to separate line between machine and sentience?

To elaborate, at the most basic level, the fact you are using a nonlinear activation function in neural nets makes it decidedly a different animal from ‘if then’. Although with tree models and such yea they are a very convoluted mess of if then statements no human programmer would wish to work out themselves. The recurring theme is these things increasingly run away from our ability to understand or reason about them, although many researchers are doing work in that area
