It's something I've been pondering for quite sometime, and I'm not sure where I stand...

"It's evolution; every time you invent something fool-proof, the world invents a better fool."
-Unknown
"Preach the gospel, and if necessary use words." - Most likely St.Francis
I find that evolution is the best proof of God.

When AIs get so powerful that they are almost indistinguishable from humans we're going to have to treat them like conscious, souled beings because we'll never know for sure"Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ." - That Guy Everyone QuotesComment

Anything made by humans has no soul.

Here's a link to a paper called, "Validation of individual consciousness in strong artificial intelligence : an African theological contribution."
I'm not totally sure whether this would answer what you're asking.Comment

Would that extend to human clones as well?Originally posted by mossrose View Post"It's evolution; every time you invent something fool-proof, the world invents a better fool."

A clone would just be like having an identical twin that was much younger than you. Do identical twins only have one soul since they're technically clones of each other?Originally posted by mossrose View PostIf it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!Comment

I guess only God knows and will decide some of these issues.
And ultimately, there is a huge difference between a clone and an AI. An AI is not human.

Human DNA was made by God. Clones are just like identical twins, just artificially caused by man. Not different in principle from fertility treatments.Originally posted by mossrose View PostComment

But where does the soul originate? Is it a product of the reproduction process or something else? If something else, it's easy to see why twins have individual souls regardless of their DNA - and hard to see how you get the same effect in a petri dish. If it's just a reproductive process, then how would a computer get one?Originally posted by Cerebrum123 View Post"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
