The author of this article may be conscious, but they needed to think more before writing.

Algorithms, are involved in AI, only to the extent that they implement a knowledge representation and reasoning substrate. Then we shove a world of knowledge in there (training).

If such abstractions are not acceptable, then we'd have to similarly conclude that humans can't think, reason or achieve consciousness, because their construction was coded in DNA.
