Artificial Intelligence and what it could mean for religion and philosophy?
I've been thinking about this for a while now. If we ever manage to create a fully functional A.I, does it refute the idea of the existence of souls/ mind/matter dualism? If a mind can be created by purely materialistic means - does that mean that religious people have to forsake the idea of souls or the idea that their consciousness is somehow above the material world?
Also, could it be said that an A.I has a soul like human beings? Should an A.I have all the same rights i.e the right to exist?
Final question - if a machine can imitate a human to the point where it is literally indistinguishable from the real thing - where do the lines between real and fake blur? If the robot has a program that's complex enough to fool most people into thinking that it's a human - can we say that it truly is intelligent?

No, i do not believe they will have souls, they can do everything we do, and react to emotions like we do, but do they feel? no, they are a computer program, as simple as that, i would probably still feel bad for hurting their feelings though LOL I dont think artificial intelligence will ever be able to ask "what am i" and if it does, then we are fucked Side: Nothing will change
