Maybe some mess of neurons and action potentials are a little fancier than yours so that's why you don't get it

    Good point. You think better, therefore you know you’re actually a supernatural ghost driving your body like a mech suit. I defer to your intellect.

    Maybe soul has more meaning that "supernatural ghost" and more like, "actual drive and reason and purpose."

    If everyone stopped touching AI, it would stop doing anything. It is not even alive.

    If all the microbes in your gut stopped touching you, you would also stop doing anything.

    Your actual drive and reason and purpose is driven by chemical reactions in a mass of meat. If you want to refer to your brain then do so, but don't start redefining words to paranormal things just to get people to say that the paranormal stuff is real. Your soul does not exist.

    Then go marry AI or something since you're so compatible. My mech suit and I are a little too refined for hollow riffraff like you.

    That's a pretty ridiculous take. The word "soul" had a commonly accepted meaning and it's not what amyaye suggested. That has nothing to do with anyone's compatibility with AI.
