You added soooo many things in this new post.
Anyway, I disagree. I think human action is a type of action, animal action is a different type, and AI action is (or will be) even more different. It may not have consciousness, or be able to own things (although in some sense they will be able to exclusively control some Bitcoin, so maybe that is a type of ownership). But I don't think an entity needs consciousness or ownership in order to act.
To further discussion, what if we agree to disagree regarding action and instead talk about whether it can "do stuff". Do you think it can do stuff?

On its own, it can't 'do stuff'. Nope. A human being can tell it what to do, and only then it will. That's how it is now. And that's how it will always be.
We won't get further if we can't agree on definitions. 'Doing stuff' and 'acting' are the same things to me. And I extensively defined what it means to act. Not sure how the concept of doing stuff differd from those definitions.
We don't have to get further. I don't want to spend all my time on this. Thanks for the discussion.
Be well. 🤙
