> I don't understand the fierce resistance to comparison with human behavior

Because at the end of the day, regardless if it contains randomness or not, it's an algorithm. Your operating system is a very long mathematical expression.

Do we talk about cars as "mechanical animals"? Do we spend days deliberating if we should cage them in case they would run away on their own?

Comparison with human behavior leads to celebrities (who have no clue whatsoever) spending hours on mainstream media talking about AI mutating, taking control, thinking, etc.

Were cars designed to communicate and emulate the mental architecture and thought processes of animals?
