    Because you’re saying that humans are biological computers. That’s the same underlying belief that leads some people to think that LLMs can grow into AGI. “Well human brains are just really complex computers with emergent intelligence, so digital computers should be able to do the same!” It’s a theory I disagree with. I’m merely pointing out that it’s where your line of reasoning leads.

    Sounds to me like your argument now is that you wouldn’t feel special

    It’s not about feeling special. Humans are more than just biological computers.

    Turns out actually that humans, and every other organism that we know of, are just biological robots built by our genetic material for the purposes of its safety and propagation.

    That’s a theory, without enough evidence to confirm. Framing it as “turns out actually that” ignores the facts. Presenting a hypothesis as if it’s some confirmed reality is anti-scientific.
