You could see it as a modern form of animism, or pantheism/panentheism. I actually subscribe to the latter as it seems clear that matter is an emergent property of consciousness (not the other way around), but I would ascribe AI as much consciousness as the silicate minerals it’s derived from. Sentience can only truly be self-identified so we do have to go off the honor system to some degree, but if we look around at everything else that self-identifies as conscious, AI doesn’t even remotely resemble it.
