I hope you are right. We just need to remember what spirit and consciousness really is, a snowflake, original unique experience and circumstances that lead us to a particular moment in time. That, technically speaking, can be generated at random (well, there no such things as random but for the sake of this conversation let's assume it is random). AI can also think and calculate 1000 times faster than human and can remember pretty much friggin everything forever. With right programming it can assess the situation and calculate 800 variances of it. Ethics can be thought (read programmed) etc. We have learn a lot of things, AI can too and faster. My personal biggest worry is not about AI, it is at the end of the day a tool. Just like a hammer or a gun. It can be used to build a house or crash skulls. It's the bad people with bad intentions that worry me a little, and we have no shortage of those... sadly...
For sure. Tools get used a lot of different ways. And if there is a way to abuse something, we humans will explore it all.
