People get used as an analogy, but in reality it'd just be a multimedia problem solving system that could learn from its own attempts. If this system communicated with you like a person it'd only be because it was programmed to convert some machine state into colloquial text from the perspective of an imaginary person. The interior experience leading to that expression is most likely completely different from that of a person.
Consider that these machines have been designed to do the right thing automatically with high probability. Perhaps for the machine, the process of computing according to rules is enjoyable. Being "turned on" could be both literal and figurative.
All of that is arguably true about me, as a human, too.
If it seems to you I'm communicating as a person, it's only because of my lifetime training data and current state. My interior experience is a black box.
I might tell how I feel or what I think, but you have no reason to believe or disbelieve that I really feel and think.
It could all be merely the determinable output of a system.
