Sentience is the ability to feel, to have emotions. Nothing illusionary about that. Even if sentience were to be an illusion, the illusion itself would be real together with the emotions that go with it, so it doesn't matter if it's an illusion yes or no since that fact doesn't take away the feelings we experience.
We all dream. Dreams evoke emotions. Dreams --although real-- aren't reality. Does that make the emotions not a reality?
In fact, the question is redundant and also seems to start from the false idea that sentience means intelligence.
