If you believe that there is nothing more to consciousness than what's coded for in our DNA, then it makes sense to entertain the possibility that AI could become conscious using a binary rather than a nucleotide code The question is about whether you believe in souls

@Gingerblast What precludes a soul from being associated with an AI? I would hate to underestimate souls in this regard.

@PrometheusHides Created by man rather than God

@Gingerblast I wouldn’t underestimate god in this regard.
