Well, I think because we know how the code is written, in the sense that humans quite literally wrote the code for it - it's definitely not thinking, and it is literally doing what we asked, based on the data we gave it. It is specifically executing code we thought of. The output of course, we had no flying idea it would work this well.
But it is not sentient. It has no idea of a self or anything like that. If it makes people believe that it does, it is because we have written so much lore about it in the training data.
