Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

nano engineering, and course were talking some years in the future, but if anything nano's convinced me were all just math when you break it down - when just depends on how much math we can do.
Even a simple conversation can be broken down into tokenizable words recently and bam chatgpt, reasonably the rest of our 'humanity' could be modeled following a similar trend until the Turing test is useless
What I mean is different. A dog thinks as a dog, a human thinks as a human, an AI will think as an AI. It will likely be able to pretend to think as a human, but it won't think as one.
It won't have a Proust's madalaine (sensorial experiences that trigger epiphanies), have the need to travel to some "sacred" location looking for spirituality, miss the hometown were it grew up, its thinking won't be driven by fears of spiders, need of social recognition, pleasure to see naked women. It's thoughts won't be dependent on the daily diet, on the amount of sugar, fat, vitamins, stimulants intake.
These are simple examples, but in general it will think in a different way. Humans will tune it to pretend to be "as human as possible", but humans will remain unique
