      What even is a soul, when you get right down to it? Convince me that humans have a soul.

      It’s about slot machines. Came-on, it’s right there on the post.

      Now excuse me, I have to try some 10 prompts on that great code generator right there, with some luck I’ll get some incredible delta to push into the repository.

      It’s a chatbot that can run a few scripts and Google search. Essentially long form Google. It has no more a soul than the dewey decimal system.

          Maybe some mess of neurons and action potentials are a little fancier than yours so that’s why you don’t get it

            Good point. You think better, therefore you know you’re actually a supernatural ghost driving your body like a mech suit. I defer to your intellect.

              Maybe soul has more meaning that “supernatural ghost” and more like, “actual drive and reason and purpose.”

              If everyone stopped touching AI, it would stop doing anything. It is not even alive.

      If someone is torturing them, they are just programs. If they want money from religious people, it has a soul.

        I think these specific people believe in the machine spirit at all times, at least a lot of them are rationalist cultists
