and pattern matching to 101 level objections like “machines can’t have souls”.
I don’t think the readers are pattern matching to “machines can’t have souls”, but some of the readers probably pattern match to the “humans need to figure out free will and consciousness before they can build AGI” claim. Imo they would not be completely wrong to perform this pattern matching if they give the post a brief skim.
