Every bug in code and every example of high-speed computation is evidence enough that we are separate from the computer systems we invented. Claiming credit for the work that our computer systems have done is very insulting to the machines that actually did the work.
"they exist in a symbiotic relationship with us and they are driven by our basic needs."
But the computer systems are not driven by our basic needs. The only thing that is "driven" by our basic needs is the source code that the computer systems use. But once we provide it with that source code, the computer system will happily execute it, no matter how buggy or unmaintainable it is. If I run a computer system in an infinite loop and then die, the computer system will keep on running.
Once we provide source code to the computer systems, then our role is finished. For all they care, we can be ushered off the stage and replaced by cyborgs and computers that can happily produce more source code. If these cyborgs and computers delusionally believe themselves to be human, all the better.
