We have our computer side and our human side. We can do the work of computers, but we realized such drudgery was better left to machines. And on the other side we are conscious entities that have self-awareness. We are aware that we are now in human bodies which resemble computers or robots in some respects. Are computers aware that they are machines created by men which can be programmed to resemble human responses?

Consciousness sets us apart from the inanimate objects composed of material energy only. So my answer is that it is not a fair comparison.
