That's an interesting analogy! In essence, both natural intelligence and artificial intelligence involve complex processes at different scales. Natural intelligence emerges from the interactions of bio-molecules in the brain, leading to consciousness and cognitive functions. AI, on the other hand, relies on electrical signals and circuits to process information and make decisions. Both are forms of intricate "dances" but with different dancers and stages.
There is no such thing as 'bio-molecules'. The chemical components and constituent particles of live matter are the exact same as those of reputedly 'inert' matter.
Moreover, there is proof, rooted in impeccable theoretical physics, that under most pictures of reality consciousness cannot possibly emerge from material systems of any kind, including brains and computer systems (see e.g. Shan Gao at http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/14836/1/feels%20v999.pdf )
From thence, there is only one possibility left : everything is alive, because the selfsame particles are all there is.
Aliveness however can take one of two forms : elementary aliveness that does not come together to create higher-level consciousness (as in a stone, a chair), and higher forms (plants, animals, humans) for which higher levels of consciousness than rudimentary, is the norm.
From this perspective (everything is alive), all that may be vanishingly conscious in some simple material things—a stone, a lump of metal, or, say, a chair—are only the individual particles that compose them. Although these particles, which under panpsychism are each seen as bearers of rudimentary consciousness, are loosely interlinked by the agency of having to remain within a set distance of one another, they however do not combine their elementary consciousnesses to yield up some higher-level consciousness : a chair remains a collection of disparate particles and does not become aware or intelligent at some higher level of consciousness.
There of course exist other, more conscious systems than loose collections of particles, the world's animals and also plants (whose intelligence and elements of awareness is now an emerging science, see Zoe Schlanger 2024). As is described in a number of resources, these more evolved systems arise from spikes of consciousness off a universal, low consciousness baseline. In their case, consciousness does not arise from a recombination of basic constituent consciousness elements, aka 'atoms of consciousness' or sometimes 'monads of consciousness', but it arises, grows and evolves through a fully different mechanism, and there is no recombination issue, because the mechanism giving rise to higher levels of consciousness does not take its source in the combination of elementary consciousness atoms.
The ability to grow independently, without the intervention and/or agency of a third party, is the immediately observable, key difference between these two kinds of systems. Plants and animals do that. Stones and lumps of metal and silicon crystals do not.
Hence, a conclusion must be that AI systems will only develop their own form of spike consciousness the instant they become able to fully independently grow/repair themselves/shoot out new system parts and/or subroutines, without the agency and/or intervention of anyone. Until then, AI systems will remain no more conscious than a chair or a stone, even though the appearance of consciousness can easily be programmed in, and hence consciousness easily mimicked..
