That’s how the neurons in your brain work too, silly. It checks how many excitatory neurotransmitters were received from the axons of the prior neurons. Yet you don’t see anyone advocating for you to work without pay. Hopefully.
Look, when a query is made to one of your neurons, it just checks a list of weighted values to decide what you’ll think. You’re not actually intelligent, you’re just a pattern-matching machine built by evolution to return whatever action will help you get food and sex so you can pass on your genes. It’s all predetermined by your neurotransmitter receptor densities. You’re not sentient.
We have a very good understanding of the anatomy of a neuron and how an action potential is transmitted across a synapse. Nowhere in there is an organelle that creates consciousness. You’re a p-zombie; an unthinking automaton.

Thats not even remotely close to the same thing.
