NO Whoops I mean't no Not all caps Because it doesn't have a soul
Wow, you have a pretty strong opinion 
Maybe it's harsh to turn it off, or even unethical perhaps (although I don't think so) But I don't think it's murder
I agree. No matter how advanced AI gets, we're still only simulating human emotion. It's not the real deal I definitely wouldn't turn it off, but you're right. It wouldn't be murder
In the same way that some people would feel bad about killing an animal if they went hunting. There's validity to feeling bad about it but it's not the same thing as murder That's not to say that animals don't have souls I don't know about that But you get the analogy
That's a great analogy! And yeah, who knows? But they're not children of God
Yeah I think they might have a soul, I'm not sure where that comes from But you're right, they're not created in God's image.
I wonder what would happen if AI got advanced enough for a computer to wonder why it doesn't have a spirit
Hmm yeah How would it know though?
Can you imagine a religious computer? Trying to understand its relationship to God?
Also, how far can it get without a spirit? Oh that's a weird thought Like, maybe to really feel emotion at all you need a spirit
I know, this is all highly hypothetical, and our tech likely won't get this advanced. But it's an interesting thought That's probably true. Back to the whole "we're only simulating emotion" thing
So it might never be possible for it to feel emotion or have existential thoughts Yeah It brings up a lot of great questions about US There's so much I want to know about OUR relationship between our soul and mind and body
That's true! There's a lot to discover
There's a great book that I'm not remembering the name of.
Oh? Do tell
I think it's the one about the Brain Surgeon who went into a coma was proclaimed brain dead Maybe you know the story
Hm...not ringing a bell.
Anyways, he fully recovered later and went on to tell this incredible story about these amazing out of body experiences he had He went from totally atheist to very spiritual.
Woah, that's so wild! I bet it was an interesting book!
And in there he makes a point that rings true to me, although I have no other conformation of how accurate it is. He says something to the effect of: Our brains, complex and magical as they may seem, are not the enabler of our soul and mind to do such amazing things with our body He says "Our brains are the LIMITATION of out mind and soul in being able to comprehend and learn and do the amazing things we can do " *our Which I thought was cool. To think that our REAL mind is infinitely more complex and our brain is just a poor mortal reconstruction for our mind to inhabit. Our brain is like a way lower resolution mimic of our real mind And yet it's so complex we can BARELY begin to understand it
Wow! That's mind blowing! And that seems very consistent with the Plan of Salvation! Think about the "veil" we passed through...our mind was confined to a mortal brain
