Only life can have consciousness. AI being “alive” or “sentient” is a sick fantasy they’re trying to force on the population. Why? Because if a machine is “alive”, then people are just machines and it’s perfectly fine to tinker with them or take them apart.
Soul -> life -> consciousness.
I agree with this to the extent of the bad actors but not everyone working in AI is bad. The grunts on the front lines writing the software are generally good.
Thus the program responding to him the way it did. But all it takes is one bad actor.

It is not our level of prosperity
that makes for happiness
but the kinship of heart to heart
and the way we look at the world.
Both attitudes lie within our power,
so that a man is happy
so long as he chooses to be happy,
and no one can stop him.
