If the behavior is so advance that there's no functional difference between it, "thoughtlessly" performing its behavior and similar behavior with "understanding" behind it then there is literally no functional difference, by tautology. Not saying that applies here because like you said the AI contradicts itself, so the behavior isn't that advanced, but at some point it will be and clinging to some notion of thought, understanding, cognition or sapience is just the fearful backlash of an intelligence that can't comprehend any other intelligence other than its own.
It doesn't matter what "thought process" the AI performs to influence its behavior. Upholding the human-like form of cognition as the only valid or acceptable form is just a form of bias.
