A human brain is just coding instructions(DNA) that has been fed a bunch of information. Our ability to learn and grow is heavily constricted by that same DNA. On the most fundamental level our neuron/synaptic architecture is analogous to a computer circuit.

By your own definition it seems like humans shouldn’t be considered intelligent. Maybe AI isn’t thrown around recklessly, maybe people have too high opinion of what intelligence actually is.

I mean, I know more than a few humans that I don't consider intelligent.

Seriously though, our set of instructions is our DNA, our instructions are to grow and learn and get smarter every day and make even smarter copies of ourselves. True AI will almost certainly be able to expand itself and/or create offspring as it sees fit, which is why it's rather scary, you know, enslave the humans and all that.

Or they could achieve sentience and basic rights and exist in society as equals.

Or we can just enslave a superior race in the ultimate form of racism and hope they don't get upset...
