No, God would not accept them. And here’s why…
One of the “laws” of the Universe is entropy, the slow and gradual decay of organized matter/energy. We see this all the time. Dead matter decays. Trees, stars, us.
And yet when it comes to life the reverse is true. Amimo acids become proteins become cells become organs become creatures. Order is created from chaos.
Life.
Just because we can treat molecules like bricks doesn’t make us Gods any more than it makes our creations alive.
First of all, the laws of thermodynamics apply to life just as much as to all other matter; the apparent decrease in entropy associated with life is more than balanced by the inefficiencies of the system; it takes a lot of energy to build a living being, or a computer, and most of this energy is lost as disorganised heat in both cases.
You can obtain the illusion of creating order, by building an organism, or tidying your room; this organisation itself uses and loses a lot of energy.
No, thee is no difference thermodynamically between life and a computer, or a library; entropy increases in all cases.
Essentially, artificial life would be the same as real life in this respect; if God exists, it seems entirely possible that she intends the creation of such life to be a primary goal of humanity.
Just a couple questions.
Would god accept them as his what?
What might we learn about ourselves by listening to the AI’s conception of god? If souls exist, and it was necessary to install one for the AI to achieve its “I”. What might we learn by creating an artificial soul?
I think it would all depend on how souls were created, in this universe.
Now, if they could only be created by God, in his workshop or something, and he sends the souls to be joined with living creatures, then the ball is in God’s court. He could send the souls to whomever he wished. Maybe he’d only give humans souls. Maybe just animals. Maybe all living organics things. Maybe all life, including technological life.
And you’d think, if he didn’t give A.I.'s souls, they really wouldn’t be A.I.'s…there’d be something obviously “missing” in them, in the way they behaved.
And, if the Universe is completely predestined, and God is omniscient, then God would have decided already weather anything besides humans would be given souls.
Now, on the other hand, there’s the possibility that god doesn’t actually create souls himself. They’re created by the formation of life, like a magnetic field is generated by putting current through loops of copper wire.
Now, maybe God specifically designed the universe so that souls could exist in the first place. And/Or maybe he created the first life forms with the first souls, and let them generate their own decendants—with their own new souls—through natural organic methods. (Evolution, biological reproduction, etc.)
Now, god might have already designed the universe so that only his own creations could generate souls. Or he might not have. Maybe he wouldn’t have known beforehand that his creations could create soul-generating beings on their own. Or maybe he just wouldn’t care.
Now, we’d have to figure in God’s personality. Maybe he’s a jerk, and he’d cast the souls of the artificial beings into limbo, just because their existance wounded his pride.
Or maybe he’d have a good-natured chuckle, say “clever little rascals, those humans…I sure didn’t see that one coming!” and let the artificial souls into heaven out of kindness and fairness.
Or maybe he wouldn’t care at all. A soul’s a soul, wherever it comes from. All are welcome in paradise, depending on their merits.
Hell, maybe he’d just think that it was cool that humans could create artificial beings that could gain souls…maybe he’d even feel pride that his own creations—his children, in a way—were able to gain powers rivaling his own. Maybe that’s what he’d been hoping we’d do all along.
Is this assuming that an AI’s thought processes would be based on our neuron-based meat computers?
Seems like we’d be making humans, albeit made with different materials and processes.
My view of artificial intelligence is from experience… it was one of my specialties for my computer science degree. If you work with advanced ones long enough, you realize these things are very different from people… you can’t relate to them in the same way, though they are capable of interesting surprises just like people are. If they become self-aware someday and God gives them souls… heaven would be a very interesting place.
