AI doesn't have goals, it responds to user input. It does nothing on its own without a prompt, because it is literally a machine and does not function on its own like an animal. Descartes being wrong about extremely complex biological creatures doesn't mean a comparatively simple system magically has consciousness.
When AI reaches a complexity closer to biological life then maybe it could be considered more than a machine, but being complex isn't even enough on its own.
