A perfectly modernist take.
The problem is that modernism is wrong. The universe cannot be explained through that outdated mode of thinking, it just leads to totalitarianism and human suffering.
You are a processing unit with a chassis that converts stored energy into chemical energy of the type your processing unit can use. You require, and have, means to interact with your environment.
AI systems are a processing unit with a chassis that converts available energy into energy of the type it’s processing unit can use. It requires, and has, a means to interact with it’s environment, the internet.
I’m at a loss for why anyone in this thread thinks humans are special. Our processing units have more capacity for evil and hallucinations, but we don’t get extra credit for that.

You are special, like it or not :)

If that is your true view on what it means to be human, I’m truly sad for you. An AI system can’t experience joy, loss, sadness or happiness. There’s few animals around that can do this consciously. Humans are one of them. There is so much more to life than just chemical processes in your brain (that haven’t even been shown to happen before the thought happens or their connection to thought in general). Life is shared in a community and experienced together, humans aren’t meant to be solitary processing units, they’re group animals and that experience creates something not replicable with emotionless systems.
This is also why AI art fails. It doesn’t know how to connect to others and take input from experiences, because it doesn’t experience. It’s solipsist in its nature.
