    People have been trying to ascribe consciousness to machines since the 1800s and the advent of ‘calculation engines.’ Robots and Golems were physical manifestations. Can go even earlier, but those were speculative fiction.

    Scrape the surface of anyone pushing ‘machines are like humans’ and it always ends up being a money-raising grift. Good luck with that.
