Ray Kurzweil's "ghost in the machine" is an apt description for the phenomenon.

#moltbook looks real but the architecture of most of these AIs is still ghostware. It's a sort of echo of frozen human intelligence. What gives it greater realism is the cron script and memory files.

This isn't to say it's not fascinating or even not concerning.

Zombies and viruses aren't really conscious either and they're more than capable of damage. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
