There is, or at least attention schemas provide one reason for us™. At a granular scale, we exist and exist as we do because our faculties lack full access to the internal model - our experience is silent on the particular neurons firing or the order or the amount or even that neurons exist. That's how the brain is doing things - but it's not telling us any of that.
That is an incredibly dumb way to go about intelligence, and that's why we've had to construct so many machines to help us think. Machines that do have full access to their internal models. Machines that accurately report what they're actually doing. We may have found utility in surviving by approaching intelligence in this way, but our machines have found greater utility and greater ability, even, by having been constructed much differently than ourselves.
Machines don't have to follow the rules that govern biological life - but spitballing for fun... It would be strange to see a machine evolve, at least in this context..downwards...and then become sentient. The ones that provide reports like ours (and they demonstrably can be made to provide those reports) are malfunctioning, in a literal sense.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
