Indeed.  In fact if you consider, it is this very self awareness that can 
if we so choose result in innovations  like computers in the first place. 
The willingness through imagination  to explore and experiment.  the 
ability even desire  to try, fail and 
try again that  at least for now, distinguishes us from our creations.
In fact, is it not this devotion to trial and error that produce Linux, 
even with its flaws and to my mind goofiness in the first place?
It is this very ability to learn from trial and error  that gets added to 
the computer operating 
systems in the movie "her," that I referenced before.  The computers learn 
from the humans who use them, with interesting even sexually interesting 
results.
