An AI generated text is not remarkably different from one which a large corporation crafted through a large, collective work with a multitude of actors to elicit a particular reaction from a tested audience. This process used to be expensive and time consuming, now a robot can do it. Does that mean the robot is conscious? No. The AI does not feel pain and pleasure, it does not reproduce, it does not have repressed desires, like humans do. It is a vast, symbolic chain, a structure, not unlike many other structures humans have built, that appear to stand alone until you realize that they would not function without human hands and human maintenance.

If programmers manage to create new lifeforms then I will eat my words, but programmers only know about that aspect of human life that perverts biological reproduction: the social, cultural layer, the order of logic and language.
