A very thought provoking article, Eric, which I always appreciate. My understanding based on the things I’ve been told by the Archangels is that neither clones nor AI have souls. The soul does live within the human body as well as in the soul realms simultaneously. Human death signals the complete exit of the soul. It doesn’t stay in the body.
I have to wonder if AI would be able to make sense out of religion. Faith leads many to believe in things that cannot be proven and often don’t seem logical. I imagine whoever created AI could influence thoughts and conclusions, but they come from somewhere and have to be biased in some way.
Interesting things to think about. Thanks again.
