I think you might have got those backwards. Sentience simply means the ability to experience sensation, while sapience refers to having wisdom or the ability to apply appropriate judgement. I think the RWBY crew might actually be using the correct definition for sentience instead of the common one given Qrow calling AKs sentient.

Anyways though, yeah. Animal level intelligence seems about as smart as a summon will probably get.
