Is that our sentient mind develops from two cells, which then multiply themselves and self differentiate into billions of cells, which interconnect and then learn from external inputs (using their own built input sensors!)
These daughter cells then learn their own patterns, store data using chemistry and stored electrical current in a way we don't understand, and then sometimes, for no reason we can discern, the daughter cells paint the Mona Lisa or compose Hey Jude.
So that chatbot is a fairground attraction and trick of the light.
Show me a "computer" that starts from two pieces of "stuff", not two pieces of silicone or copper or two pieces of semiconductor material, but two blobs of stuff.
And then you leave it for a while, feed it energy and raw building blocks and talk to it.
And then it proposes the 6 carbon benzene ring for organic chemistry or writes The Hobbit.
AI, my arse !
