Friend, you talk about it like it's a fact. But in fact, this is not at all the case - people are the same animals as others. Of course, dolphins, monkeys and humans have mutual differences, but if taken as a whole, these are branches of the same tree. And if you have studied human evolution, then you should know that in parallel with the human branch there were other more or less intelligent primates.
And I didn't understand your point about questions - any dog owner will tell you how the pet asks about food, walks, etc. Each of them has its own character and personality.
As for the intentions of the AI, how do you explain that the AI is looking for the best solutions to chess positions, for example? The fact that it is programmed? But it is also possible to program other things, and from the outside you will not distinguish these intentions from the "internal inherent in real personalities."
Very good points.
Regarding animals like dogs, etc, having their own way of telling you things, I agree. My point there is that every living creature will have some kind of response to the environment and their needs. For example, if an animal is hungry, they will look for food, etc. The main difference in humans is that we use our mind to create things that are not directly in response of a biological need. For example we make paintings, art in general, etc. Things that require working for multiple days or years without having a driver like hunger for example. But yeah, I think it's not necessarily something extremely different, just more in the same direction compared to other animals.
In any case, the world we live in is shaped by humans, so that's a big difference, also the online world is mostly humans, and AI. Very few dogs online.
About the AI playing chess, well, the AI always does whatever the human says. The actual way in which the AI does it might be unexpected, but the main objective has been always so far defined by a human. Even dogs and other animals have their own minds to decide what to do and can even ignore a human command. An AI, so far, is still basically a fast computer that gives the illusion of being intelligent, but it does so in a different way than animals. It's kinda like how a plane flies in a different way than a bird flies.
