That’s A question.
Indeed they do, or at least I think so too.
We are not our minds, indeed, we are more, yet we also kinda are, at least in this world/reality/level.
I mean the very question is just stemming from “cargo cult” perception of AI. Study of intelligence and questions on laws that govern it are thousands years old. AI field wasn’t envisioned as only replicating human cognition, moreover it doesn’t by definition require consciousness at all. Also conflating AI to machine learning and language models is extremely narrow view. They are contemporary demonstrations of what was achieved in some fields of intelligence research.

Quantum computing is that much lucrative exactly because of literally exponential performance gains, once it can be reliably done. That’s why governments and corporations alike invest into it that much while results are only academical and very modest.
But it doesn’t mean that brain does a lot of “useful” work from external perspective, especially in the context of particular task. Like a human body can lift rocks and dig with hands, but excavator will outperform it trivially.

Are we AI?
In a way, yes, from higher perspective.
We are made in the image of our creators.
So our intelligences, capabilities & likeness are copies of our creators.
However, because we have self-awareness also. It’s hardly “artificial” and we can rise higher than the higher beings.
