Today's chatbots don't convincingly impersonate, let alone replace, humans. I doubt if they could convincingly impersonate any of the higher mammals. On the other hand, some AI-produced graphic art can deceive us that it's human-made - for what that's worth as a 'test' - although AI-generated 'literature' still seems a long way off. So I think there will continue to be grey areas and debates.

I suppose we could consider AI-produced "art" to involve something like the "signs" Descartes references.
