Descartes; Cogito, ergo sum. Any AI and Paul Andersen: I don't think, so?

"I think, therefore I am" ("Cogito, ergo sum" in Latin) is a
foundational
philosophical statement by René Descartes, asserting that the act of
thinking
itself proves the existence of the thinker. Descartes used it as the
basis
for his philosophy, arguing that even if everything else could be
doubted,
the fact that one is doubting proves their existence.
Ask any AI engine this question: Do you think? And all of them will
respond that they don't. That everything they write is based on
algorithms over existing knowledge and that they are not sentient, nor
have consciousness.
It applies equally to Paul Andersen. He shows off about that he thinks
and had deep consciousness, but he is lying. He's a relativistic PARROT,
and I can't find ANY difference between him and a relativistically
biased AI engine.
I wonder if Paul EXISTS or is just a hallucination that lives into an AI
engine, fed with the crappy online history of Paul for the SAD LAST 30
YEARS.
