I think that reductionism is mechanistic by definition. What does it mean to behave like a machine or to be robotic? Why should it mean that? This doesn't prove that all machines must all behave like early machines that we have manufactured thus far, but I think that taken with the other clues that we have about inauthenticity in digital simulation, trouble with speech synthesis and emotion with AI, symbol grounding problem, etc.. I think there is a clear basis to presume that in fact there is something fundamentally different about assembled machines and autopoietic living organisms which may in fact limit their potential.
