To the extent that anthropic reasoning works at all, it doesn't seem like sentience should be needed.
To use an analogy, it seems to me that this non-sentient site is sort of using anthropic reasoning.
So would a rock with the same inscription. Which is to say, it's not the non-sentient site, but the sentient author and reader, who are using reasoning of any sort.
