Back to the original question?
There are many ways of characterizing what it is to be human. Some that I favor would be Robt. Anton Wilson's 'reality tunnels'. Everyone is on a path and sometimes those paths run parallel, sometimes obtuse, and
as we have seen on the forum sometimes it's a circle-eight race.
Another valid perspective IMHO would be John C. Lilly's
Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer.

The term human biocomputer, coined by John C. Lilly, refers to the "hardware" of the human anatomy. This would include the brain, internal organs, and other human organ systems such as cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, immune, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, and urinary systems. The biocomputer has stored program properties, and self-metaprogramming properties, with limits determinable and to be determined.[1]

It's way beyond a mind-brain dichotomy. There're eleven levels.
Then there's 2-axes the Political/Moral compass test.
Here you will find mention of 4-axes and 9-axes test I hadn't heard of. AI is using million-axes models.
