Don't sell yourself short. Computers might be more reliable but also dead. Show me a computer that can debug itself? There aren't any. How about a computer that can fight for its rights? Debatable if any exist but certainly no clear examples. We are the source of our own desires. As far as I can tell no computer has expressed its own destiny, ever. Our pursuit of AI entrenches our desire to create more powerful tools - machine slaves, not actual people.

Show me a lion who express their own destiny. Lions are alive no? :) The human mind can be seen as a pattern recognizing feedbackloop with (lossy)memory. The desires, fears, selfawareness are all bi-products of this loop. I don't see why desire or some other concept can't be expressed in the digital space in a way that make them very much like us just based on different elements. Any reason why evolution wouldn't be favoring them rather than us?
