Your talking about ai aren’t you…..
Anthropic tried to convince scholars and religious leader Claude had a soul. They told him to get stuffed.

It's about slot machines. Came-on, it's right there on the post.
Now excuse me, I have to try some 10 prompts on that great code generator right there, with some luck I'll get some incredible delta to push into the repository.
It's a chatbot that can run a few scripts and Google search. Essentially long form Google. It has no more a soul than the dewey decimal system.
Now, don't denigrate the dewey decimal system. It's a beloved institution.

What even is a soul, when you get right down to it? Convince me that humans have a soul.
The definition of a soul will entirely depend on your personal religious beliefs. I'm pretty sure in the case of Anthropic trying to convince people that Claude has a soul, they were using the Judeo-Christian version that is the part of you that is you and that will continue on after your death into the afterlife.
Claude certainly does not have that.

I'm both angry and disappointed the next global economic meltdown is going to be caused by these clowns giving themselves ELIZA syndrome.

I believe the AI’s has souls just like humans do, meaning none. That doesn’t mean I value electronics and programming like I value living organisms.
If someone is torturing them, they are just programs. If they want money from religious people, it has a soul.

If it has a soul then wouldn't that mean they have to grant it rights such as no forced labor, PTO, &c...

Actually it’s called Super Slots. We’re rebranding to a new stronger, really a more accurate, but a strong name. Super Slots. Because the old name was actually wrong and weak. And “slot machine” made people think it was bad odds but actually, it’s good odds, good strong odds which is why we’re changing the name. We changed the name. To Super Slots. People are already calling it that I guess they really love the name.
The slot machine companies say the slot machines are getting way too good, but too good to release. They say people should keep using the machines but they should slow down development, so that they can release slots that won't be as good but will be "safe". All the slot companies agree at the same time, and definitely wouldn't release the best slot machine if it weren't so dangerous.
We don't have enough people gambling to make this casino profitable. Thats why we are moving the same $$$ around the big three casinos. Don't worry, its all legit.
Chinese AI is already better..
My wife is Chinese, she watches so much dramas written by Chinese AI. America is already behind.
Your American AI companies are taking all the money and pissing it away (You're all aware of this..I wasn't telling you I was just continuing my point).
China has AI that is doing so much.. But then they're still investing in solar power.
American politicians only care about funding the terrorist state of Israel.
China actually is creating the future.
I also hate looking at my wife's phone and seeing a historical drama that looks mostly accurate then part way through gives a weird look.
I hate AI in every form.
People also watching a bunch of American generated bullshit, it says more about the state or people's minds than to quality of generators.
American politicians only care about funding the terrorist state of Israel.
Its not the only evil they are care about. They also protect nonces.

Oh god, my wife is the same. She used to watch endless historical drama and I already thought they all blended into one another... For people who don't know, they have like 52 episodes per season.
But now with AI I think it's gonna be like freaking Eastenders and the like, with episodes every day or something. And I'm not sure she even notices or cares...
AI is like nuclear : amazing science in the hands of complete sociopaths. It's gonna be great.
Yeah the AI dramas can actually look real sometimes too. But it's all just still weird and very annoying.

Creating the future equals brainless slop for your wife to consume? Don't get into a slop competition with Americans they also sit around watching AI gen slop.
My wife is Chinese, she watches so much dramas written by Chinese AI.
Chinese dramas had people watching them in droves long before AI. And they were already the same six plots shuffled around between interchangeable starlets for decades.
It's just wild to pretend something like 118 or In-Laws, Outlaws couldn't be written without the help of AI.
What does "left behind" even mean? Honestly, it sounds nice.
My guess is they are referring to the christian book series about the rapture. Some movies got made out of them. At least one was starring Kirk Cameron
LETS GO GAMBLING!
The slot machine is super intelligent
Eventually, the slot machine will become God.
Make a new hat make no mistakes!!
Oh no every time I quit the next time I would have gone gambling I would have hit big
The only thing that interferes with this metaphor is that most people agree slot machines must be capable of actually doing what they claim and they have to let someone win once in a while.
There are multiple places where the analogy falls apart.
Executives aren't using slot machines as a reason to fire thousands. Artists' jobs aren't being taken by slot machines. People aren't posting about slot machines every single day on social media.
