Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is shattering the AI hype. He argues that silicon-based machines merely simulate intelligence through statistical probability, lacking the genuine subjective awareness evolved by biological life over millions of years.

- **Simulation vs. Sentience:** Complexity isn’t consciousness.
- **Biological Rooting:** Experience requires organic biology.
- **The Danger:** Don’t mistake algorithmic sophistication for human-like feeling or real intent.
