You could say the same thing about rewiring a human’s neurons randomly

Can you? One is editing a table of variables, the other is altering a brain by some magic hypothetical. Even if you could, the person you do it to is gonna be cross with you -- the programme, meanwhile, is still just a programme. People who've had damage to Wernicke's area are still attempting to communicate meaningful thoughts, just because the signal is scrambled doesn't mean the intent isn't still there.
