When did it become "alive"? GPT-3? What is the threshold at which we consider something to be living. Is this a matter of complexity alone?

How alive is a collection of a dozen transistors? A million, billion, trillion? We can't just claim something is alive without being very specific about _why_ we believe it to be alive. The article's suggestion doesn't even begin to mention that.
