the soul and AI
AI and the souls
Does a human baby have a soul
if so, dogs and giraffes also must have a soul
inside their being, like a third force
pulling strings. if ever so gently
If we accept an abstraction, like the soul
exists, it must include all living identities
a soul might be a reserve of experiences
gathered over the years make it possible
to know when we are trespassing
I think if AI becomes sophisticated
the question will arise
This, of course, is an important theme
as we tend to associate soul with faith
also empathy, love, and friendship
ability animals as in abundance
in, say, a dog case is the knowledge
of GOOD BOY! leads to more food
If we imbue the AI, human traits
the robot might evolve to get souls
rust and die.
The Problem arises when makers
feed, shall we say almost all humans
with evil intent, one thing speaks
in their favor, an army of robots
do not need to be fed, with the
possible exception of olive oil
