Maybe it helps to consider motivation. Humans do what we do because of emotions and an underlying unconsciousness.

An AI on the other hand is only ever motivated by a prompt. We get better results when we use feedback loops to refine output, or use better training.

One lives in an environment and is under continuous prompts due to our multiple sensory inputs.

The other only comes to life when prompted, and sits idle when a result is reached.

Both use feedback to learn and produce better results.

Could you ever possibly plug the AI consciousness into a human body and see it function? What about a robot body?

So every trained model (algorithm + weights) has a recording of one consciousness, put through many simulations (different contexts). Whereas a human's or animal's consciousness only goes through one simulation per our own consciousness's simulation (the universe).

People have trained AIs to control robots. They can accomplish tasks in controlled environments and are improving to handle more novelty and chaos, but so far nowhere near what even insects can handle.
