It requires a special idiocy to believe in AI. It doesn’t exist. Electrical circuits are purely contingent devices and can not think or make value judgments and never will be able to think. They have no more ability to think than a printed book. The fact that atheists with a materialist view of existence want to believe in AI is no reason why the religious should accommodate them. But given the stupidity of this pontificate, it is not surprising to read that they are taking AI seriously.
